Video: Volcano Choir - "Tiderays"

Volcano Choir have shared a new video for "Tiderays", from last year's Repave LP, a record that you may recall made my year-end list in 2013. You may also recall The band have actually already shared some visuals for the tune in the past when they released a series of  re-purposed Michinori Saigo instillation art video captures for each song on the Repave LP; but I guess this acts as some sort of official version away from that universe. The video was directed by Kyle Buckley and Andi Woodward in conjunction with 551project and stars dancers from the Milwaukee Ballet. 

Video: Volcano Choir - "Byegone"

Volcano Choir, the side project featuring Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and Wisconsin post-rock act Collections of Colonies of Bees, have shared the music video for "Byegone." The clip was directed by Michinori Saigo and features what appears to be some instillation art that utilizes a tree. In a funny way it’s kind of like watching tree porn or something. Repave is out September 3rd via Jagjaguwar. 

Video: Kanye West – “Lost In The World”

Kanye West  teamed up with fashion filmmaker RuthHogben for an overdue video of  "Lost in the World", the BonIver featuring track from the very excellent My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy LP. Watch it below and then do yourself a favor and go listen to the album again in full.

Video: Bon Iver - "Towers"

Bon Iver dropped the latest video from his 2011 Grammy winning self titled album. “Towers” was directed by Nabil Elderkin who also worked with Justin for the "Holocene" video and continues with the theme of nature. Nabil had this to say of the process…

“When Justin sent me a breakdown of what certain parts/lines of the song meant to him I did my best to decode it and curate into something simple, and hopefully the viewer can take from it their own feeling of what the towers represent. It was shot up in Washington state, mostly on Indian-preserved land, and our actor’s name was Mystic. He seemed to be very tuned into the land, and when he said he was also willing to fall into the freezing cold ocean up there (seems a bit sharky too), I knew he was my guy.”

Video: Bon Iver: "Hinnom, TX"

I’m not the biggest fan of these deluxe edition re-releases, I mean they are great when an album has been out for ten years but when the band or label decide to re-releases one in the same 12 month period as the original drop it feels like a big F You to the fans who were there on day 1 buying it. On that note Jagjaguwar will be releasing  a deluxe edition of Bon Iver's BNM'd album Bon Iver tomorrow, and the package includes track-by-track video accompaniments. Take a one such example for track "Hinnom, TX", directed by Isaac Gale and David Jensen, below…
