Date Palms is taking over the ambient airwaves. Their new record on Thrill Jockey not only elevated us to new levels, but the video is keeping us up there. The video, by Andy Puls, includes old western b-roll footage, 35mm stock. The footage was edited down then processed through old analog video gear and re-shot in video feeback loops, then re-edited some more.

Date Palms will be performing live in Los Angeles on June 15 as part of the Tonalism all night music happening.

Past collaboration between Andy Puls and Date Palms can be found in this live-in-studio video:

Pod Blotz is Suzy Poling an Oakland-based artist who, in addition to music, does installation work, performance art, photography and video. She brings all these talents together in her self-made music videos, creating supernatural worlds that invoke Kenneth Anger, Andrei Tarkovsky, Stan Brakhage and German Expressionist Cinema. I picked “In The Dreamhouse” for this post as its one of my favorite of her videos, but I strongly suggest that you peruse her entire website to explore the many faces of her work, inspired by “hypnotic realms, natural phenomenon, ecological oddities, human experience in relation to ecology, systemized order of space and comprehensions of entropy”.

Here’s a new video directed by Jon Casey for Janka Nabay & The Bubu Gang‘s “Feba”, which they shot between Manhattan and Niagara Falls while on tour late last year. Be sure to check out Janka Nabay & The Bubu Gang TONIGHT at The Echo with Secret Circuit, Awesome Tapes From Africa, and our very own labrats Slayron of Peaking Lights and frosty.

Touché has an eerie new video for “Big Fan”, in which a camera roves through the residence of a super fan, allowing viewers to piece together a tale of obsession and murder. This video was a one-man-army effort by Chris Coats of The Masses, who directed, shot and edited with VFX work by Isaac Ravishankara.

Touché just released their first LP It’s Fate earlier this month, which includes this track. They have a couple upcoming shows in and around LA, playing the Henry Fonda Theater on June 29th and at The Glass House in Pomona on the 28th.
