Video: A Train Wreck - Bearsuit

in

This starts intriguing and escalates to boisterous and amazing.  There's a slight folky math-rock thing going on in here and it reminds BlackPlastic of under-rated favs of ours, Hot Club De Paris.
This is Bearsuit's second single and proceeds their new album The Phantom Forest, due in February.  The single is available as a free download from the band directly.

Video: My Heart is a Drummer - Allo Darlin'

in

BlackPlastic has been feeling this video since it dropped into the inbox a few weeks ago and now that it is getting airplay on 6music there seems to be no escaping it's greatness.  It's a slightly kooky number, reminiscent of She & Him's take on Alt-Country but in this case it's more alt-folk... Anyway, enjoy - it's a nice straight forward pop song.

Video: Sad Struggle - Minor Sick

in

BlackPlastic can't tell you much about this (very) short promo for Minor Sick's album Fremdscham in Reality. What we can tell you is that it's pretty bizarre, but in a good way, and it was created by Rob Brandon. Rob says he made it "using extreme long exposures and animated using frame blending techniques". Lovely. And weird.

Get more on Rob over at his blog and get more on Minor Sick at the label site, Duzz Down San.

Video: Hi Life - Syd Matters

Syd Matters - Hi Life
Uploaded by sydmatters. - See the latest featured music videos.

Trippy video of the week award goes to Syd Matters, whose video for 'Hi Life' is an animated piece that actually looks a little bit like a cool video game. BlackPlastic hasn't come across Syd Matters before but their debut album, Brotherocean, comes out on Because Music in February. If this is anything to go by expect something between Radiohead and Notwist - bruised vocals and loneliness ensue. This sounds like the dead leaves of Autumn.
