Video: Death Grips – “Inanimate Sensation”

Death Grips officially called it quits earlier in the year with the promise of new music before year’s end and it would seem we are seeing signs of the projects imminent release as 2014’s end fast approaches.  Taken from Jenny Death, the second half of their upcoming double album the powers that b, “Inanimate Sensation” sounds a little bigger and bolder than a lot of the material on the already shared Niggas On The Moon disc. The visuals for “Inanimate Sensation” is as with all things Death Grips, unique. Taking place on a fallen jumbotron that has crashed through the floor of a basketball court, the video flicks between distorted computer graphics and MC Ride. Word on the street is that the LP will drop on December 27th which is precisely why I don't release my favorite albums of the year list until the year is officially over.

Video: Björk – “Hollow”

Björk dropped the latest video from her 2011 LP Biophilia. The video for “Hollow,” which premiered on NPR today, is a computer-generated affair exploring the inside of the human body. The clip is a collaboration with the biomedical animator Drew Berry, and makes use of molecular DNA and protein models.

Berry tells NPR that the video is an "exploration of the microscopic and molecular landscapes inside Björk's body." Björk described "Hollow" to NPR as "a Halloween song and quite gothic," conjuring a feeling that comes with "thinking about your ancestors and DNA."

Björk just dropped the video for her single “Moon” from the forthcoming LP Biophilia. It was directed, produced and art directed by Björk, Inez and Vinoodh, m/m Paris and James Merry.
