CIRCLESQUARE: Dancers

Vancouver art star Jeremy Shaw has returned to the musical stage under his Circlesquare moniker. After the disolution of Output records, the fate of the abstract electronic project looked unclear. After being featured on the soundtrack for gaming title Need For Speed, and a decampment from native Vancouver to current cultural hotbed Berlin, this project is back on the rails, signed to K7, and features the bolder, brasher, live sounds prototyped with the Fight Sounds ep. Schoolmate and long-time visual collaborator Bienvenido Cruz lenses the minimal music video, inspired by the artwork of Robert Longo series, Men In The Cities. And, yes, you may recognize the faces some of dancers - Miles Faber and Vincent Noiseux of the premier season of So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Them kids can move. Watch the music video (qt).

WHITEST BOY ALIVE: Golden Cage

Yaaay! Berlin based wunderband The Whitest Boy Alive are back with a brand new self released record entitled Rules. Now there's no single yet released and, thus no new video to report, so here is a rather simple and elegant video treatment from their first album. As usually, vocals are provided by folktastic Norwegian, Erlend Oye (he of his solo and Kings Of Convenience work), and wonderfully illustrations are courtesy of artist Geoff McFetridge. For a limited time sneak peak of the new album, click here. Watch the music video (qt).

HEADMAN: On And On

Headman is often a favourite for runway fashion show, mixing electro with rock elements for stylish effect. This video, directed by Simon Owens, is decidely, not so glamourous. Instead finding inspiration in Coco Rocha style Irish dancing with poor lighting and grainy film stock puts this video in the "indie" category. Watch the music video (qt).
