Video: Wye Oak – “Glory”

Baltimore-based duo, Wye Oak, have shared a video from their new album, Shriek, which dropped yesterday. “Glory”, directed by Michael Patrick O'Leary and Ashley North Compton, plays with choppy editing techniques to give parts of the video an uneasy stop motion feel.

Video/Download: Arcade Fire – “Here Comes the Night Time”

Arcade Fire ruled Saturday evening on NBC taking on musical guest duties on the season premiere of SNL and following it up with a 30 minute Roman Coppola directed TV special. The video features three new tunes “Here Comes The Night Time,” '”We Exist” and “Normal Person.” A series of skits with cameos from the likes of Bono, Rainn Wilson, Ben Stiller, Michael Cera, James Franco, AzizAnsari, Eric Wareheim, Bill Hader, and Zach Galifianakis are spliced in with live footage of the band performing. As an added bonus the band shared a download of the new songs heard in the video you can grab HERE. Reflektor is out on October 29 via Merge.

Video: Arcade Fire - "Reflektor"

Arcade Fire returned to the scene today with their latest single and interactive video. "Reflektor," which is currently being hosted at justareflektor.com, allows the viewer to control lighting effects and more used throughout the clip (if you have a web cam there are some great surprises.) A fun idea but you probably want to know what the song sounds like? Classic AF, melodies, harmonies, French lyrics and everything in-between, David Bowie lends some support with backing vocals for good measure.

Read about the making of the video here and explore the technology used to create it here. Written, directed, and produced by longtime Arcade Fire collaborator Vincent Morisset and filmed in Jacmel, Haiti. The new album Reflektor is out October 29 via Merge.
