the march divide, “to all my friends”

the march divide, “to all my friends”

Alternative indie rock music project The March Divide – from brainchild Jared Putnam – has a million tour dates ahead of him, but that didn’t stop him from releasing the brand new animated music video for the single “To All My Friends”. The song itself feels like a feel-good 90s indie pop track-meets-alt-rock/pop track from the oughts, and the visuals are brilliant and eye opening, to say the least. Explains Jared of the work:

I reached out to director and animator, Harold Loeffler-Bell, to do some videos for songs from my new album ‘Anticipation Pops.’ Harry really has a way of communicating the songs, in a simple and completely accurate way. Being shielded, while everything is falling down around you, perfectly explains the attitude and emotion of the trilogy of animated videos he created for the songs ‘I Don’t Care,’ ‘Overexposure,’ and now, ‘To All My Friends.’ Sometimes we need some help from our friends, to make it through.

We are lucky enough to be hosting the exclusive premiere of the video, so get your peepers on the work below!

fønx, “come on over”

fønx, “come on over”

Sultry jewel tones fill the room as East Sussex-raised FØNX floods the space with his gorgeous vocals. The simple contrast of black with those tones increases the soulfulness of the track itself, and make it feel a little more like a scene from a boy band video from the 90s.

ryder havdale, “partners in crime”

Really into that smooth jazz feel to the 90s? Well, Ryder Havdale has taken some of that and blended it with a more modern dance vibe in new track “Partners In Crime”. A song that boasts perfection in any nightclub setting, the video doesn’t stray from that feeling one bit, as bright colors, ambient lights, and fun moves keep the dance party going. We’ve got the exclusive premiere of that visual, so check it out below!

theangelcy, “mona lisa (the song)”

Tel Aviv-based indie folk collective theAngelcy – comprised of Maya Lee Roman, Maayan Zimry, Uri Marom, Rotem Bar Or, and Udi Naor – is a jam band if ever we saw one. This is further proven in the brand new music video for their track “Mona Lisa (the song)”. Filled to the brim with a modern take on that 90s nostalgia – we can’t necessarily help it that fashion is going back in that direction now, but we CAN help an all-white background and group dancing – “Mona Lisa (the song)” will inspire you to move this weekend, and we’ve got the exclusive premiere.

hazey eyes, “scares” (ft. yoke lore)

In a beautiful, seemingly-hazy atmosphere is where director Simon Dymond placed the wonderfully nostalgic video for “Scars” by Hazey Eyes and Yoke Lore. With dark tones and a simple feel to it all, “Scars” features the talents of actors Erin Kellyman, tom Blyth, and Bradley Badder in a way that allows their pure acting talent to evolve over the course of the video. It all starts out simple enough, but eventually some crazy things happen… and we’ve got to admit, it gets pretty intense.

But isn’t that the case with most scars?
