The holidays are fast approaching, but the music industry is not showing any signs of slowing down on new releases. We’re keeping some new music videos close as our favorite new visuals, and want to share them with you. (As if it’s new… been doing it for a while now. But you know that. Of course.) We’ve got some great ones from Brooke Candy, Vanessa Carlton, Colony House, Bleed From Within, and more, so check it out now and perhaps swing back around later for more!

Come back for more all month!

lesibu grand, “runnin’ round”

lesibu grand, “runnin’ round”

Atlanta-based rock collective Lesibu Grand is comin’ atcha hot with a new music video for their single “Runnin’ Round” today, and we have the exclusive premiere. The video matches the energy of the track, bringing in quite a number of humorous shenanigans from the band members themselves, while lead vocalist Tyler-Simone Molton adventures around town on a scooter. Bright pops of animation and an incredible kaleidoscope of colors makes this all the more fun and fancy-free. Check it out below, and let us know your thoughts on Facebook!

The Legend of Miranda was released on October 4th. Keep up with Lesibu Grand here.

If you’re looking for a tranquil soundscape, decorated with smooth, Swedish vocals, then Alec Baker‘s “Lava Pool” is next to throw on your short list. (Or just trust us and add it to your “vibes” playlist for the season.) And if you’ve ever been in a situation where you lose track of time because you’re so enveloped in conversation and revelry, or the eyes of another, then this song will speak to you in ways indescribable.

Pop this on and get lost in that winter love.

crywolf, “adah” [fawn official video]

crywolf, “adah” [fawn official video]

“Adah” is Act I of the short film “WIDOW” by Crywolf. It is both a music video and an ominous, dark vignette from this incredible talent. Spoken poetry, with dark visuals and an established intensity that rivals classic horror films. What the artists involved have done with this gorgeous music piece is one of the most remarkable things we have seen this year yet. And this isn’t it, either. His full-length is gorgeous, and Act II of the film was released first and is available with the track “Mabul“.

Admits Crywolf of the 3 part series:

The series tells the story of a man’s descent into madness. He loses his mind and, thinking he is being directed by an angelic force, ends up killing the very thing he loves most. When he realizes what he has done, he’s devastated and jumps off a pier to escape. It turns out (in the third video) that he can’t die, and he is still haunted by the memory of his lover.

It’s a metaphor for my own struggle with mental illness, and the tumultuous realities of life as an artist. Pursuing these ethereal and magnificent concepts is so captivating, but can sometimes drive you to the edge of your sanity, and can cause you to hurt the things you love most… whether that is people around you, or parts of yourself. But, as the third act shows, those things are never really gone. They live on and won’t leave until they are accepted and integrated.

talker, “learning the feeling”

talker, “learning the feeling”

Burgeoning artist Talker releases her new music video for single “Learning the Feeling” today, and we’ve been anticipating this release for quite some time. We were lucky enough to speak with Talker in our podcast this year, and we’re thrilled with the new music she’s been releasing. Powerful, transformative, badass. When you realize the theme of anxiety and hidden emotion, this song — and its accompanying video — feels like a particularly beautiful release. And all of that is just multiplied with the new visual. Follow one of your new favorite artists as she wields a baseball bat, angsty vocals, and a jumpsuit.

Just the perfect amount of attitude.

the wrecks, “fvck somebody”

the wrecks, “fvck somebody”

Pop rock collective The Wrecks have just released a new party ballad, for lack of a more accurate term. Smooth, cavalier vocals with quite the impressive range, the song maintains its fun disposition despite the interesting topic choice. Regardless of how you feel about The Wrecks trying to throw a wrench into life with these lyrics, you’re probably going to be the first one caught belting this song out in the car or shower.

If we don’t beat you to it.

nombe, “paint california”

nombe, “paint california”

Pop artist NoMBe creates soul-tinged electric tracks that keep us on our toes. We were so thrilled by his full-length release last spring (They Might’ve Even Loved Me…), that we had been chomping at the bit a tad more than usual for this new single. Luckily, “Paint California” is out now, and provides the right vibe for a relaxing autumn afternoon, enjoying the crisp air with friends. The first single from his upcoming sophomore release, “Paint California” is a smooth track with just the right amount of throwback feel.

a picture made, “music is love”

a picture made, “music is love”

Though it’s been a hot minute since a picture made released their latest record Heal on Gooodspeeed Records, the four Kansas and Missouri bred rockers continue to deliver delight from that particular release. Today, we bring you the music video for their single “Music is Love”. Beginning with the brilliant northern lights, the visual is comprised of a gorgeous variety of video clips that further prove the point of each individual lyric. Individuals playing piano, moshing at a big rock concert, holding hands, etc. As with light, there is dark and at the 1:44 mark, things get a little violent with riot footage. But a picture made further drives the point of the song title afterward, ending the video on a beautiful and encouraging note.

Get your first peep at the video below!
