In the Spirit of Music Videos: Packed with Care
So from the things we’ve learned during this season of Music Videos, one of the biggest is that while you don’t need to have a huge budget, you simply can’t skimp on the concept. Today’s “In the Spirit of Music Video” is a nice example of a good concept, done well. Maybe it’s t

In the Spirit of Music Videos: Head Trip II
Since yesterday's featured music video was so trippy, I'm thinking we should keep in the same vein and enjoy more trippy visuals today. This 'In the Spirit of Music Videos' is from the Mexican psychedelic band Simona for their song "Mia." If yesterday's music video was earthy, well then this on

In the Spirit of Music Videos: Head Trip
Slow and psycadelic. Earthy and mellow. Spacey and surreal. This music and matching music video mesh well together and make for a full experience. The band is Traveling Circle and the video is for their song “Cylindrical Time.” Like the music, we’re not exactly sure what’s going on here, but

In the Spirit of Music Videos: Field Day
With every 100 obligatory "band playing in a big empty field" music video, there are inevitably a couple that actually get it right. Make it look pretty. Give it some sort of a storyline. Make it MORE than just another band, in a field, singing. Which is why this music video by Sound & Shape for t

When considering a music video for an In the Spirit of Music Videos post, I think about a few things. Is it anywhere near our rules? Does it look like it could’ve taken day to shoot and edit? Even remostely close to under budget? But sometimes, when even answers to those questions are clos

Of all the submission we’ve received, this one definitely has the most in common aesthetically with this week’s actual Music Video by Scream Hello. That distinct DIY flair, the slight goofiness of it all (in the best possible way), the over-the-topness (is that even an adjective?), so it onl
