We’re very proud to announce our music video release for Alexandra Babiak, animated by Curtis Peel. Our tenth official music video, ‘Tonight’ is the second single from Alexandra’s new record, Impatiens. The Toronto native has drawn inspiration from Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald. You can sense these influences in the heart wrenching arc of her voice as it haunts the spaces between analog soundscapes. Alexandra's cinematic, invitational narrative melodies creep under your skin-whispering lyrics that are endlessly relatable.
PRESENTING: DOPAPOD - Mucho
Dopapod's "Mucho," our 9th music video was released today on Live for LIVE Music today! Animated by Curtis Peel, "Mucho" follows the daily grind of a little robot who works for the Bad News Network, but could an unusual discovery on his way home affect what he thinks about?
"Riffing off the feel-good and ebullient feel of the MEGAGEM track and its positive, life-affirming lyrics, the vibrant video follows a robot as he discovers that’s there’s more to his dull binary life after finding a flower growing on the street and bringing it home. In tune with the overall message of the number, as Eli Winderman explained about the track, “Mucho has quickly become one of our fan favorites. I was trying to write something that was fun and that contained a lesson I’ve learned over the past few years, which is if you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.”

PRESENTING: SPACEFACE - COWBOY LIGHTNING
"Cowboy Lightning" is from Spaceface's 2017 LP release Sun Kids.
"I was saving these old scientific illustrations from sketch books from the early 1900s, which included all of these detailed butterflies, mushrooms, and minerals that I had wanted to cut out and collage in some way. I used the lyrical references to heaven and hell as the foundation for everything else. When Jake (Ingalls) first shared the tune with me, he included a grocery list of images he already had in his head, which I think included gaping voids and a scratchy stick figure guy who would morph into airplanes or something has he flew out of hell. So I essentially started with that and what followed was a sort free association with the concept of heaven and hell to me. The little guy is perpetually walking the line between heaven and hell the entire animation, which I think is fitting and in hindsight, turns these two places into destinations of consequence. The only true stop is that little coffin at the end."
