We took a bit of a hiatus since we didn’t post any videos last week. We are back this week with some exceptional videos. Sit back and listen / view, and make sure to share and / or leave a comment since we love to hear from you. We hope you enjoy the tracks as much as we have this week.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Mosquito – such a simple, but slick video.

Paper Bag Records has released another covers compilation. This time, they take on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars featuring covers by Austra, CFCF, PS I Love You, Yamantaka//Sonic Titan and more. The compilation is available for free download from the Paper Bag Records website here - grab it now.
To get you in the mood, here is the original version of Soul Love which is redone by Austra and CFCF on the Paper Bag release. Check it out below.
Formed in 2009, the Toronto-based duo Trust are Robert Alfons and Maya Postepski (also a member in Austra). They release their forthcoming debut full length, ‘TRST’ via Arts & Crafts on February 28, 2012 on vinyl / CD and by digital download. To provide some reference to explain the sound on this album – it is like a fusion of The Knife, Austra and Salem. It is dark, left of centre dance music with a hint of gothic swagger. ‘TRST’ is a very solid debut across all 11 tracks and definitely worth picking up as the soundtrack to kick off or as the come down for any party.
MP3: Trust – Bulbform
Watch the video for Candy Walls from TRST below
“Tales of lust, wax, and erotomania carry along on a dense black vapor of speed, space and tears.”
Standout tracks: The slow, brooding and beautiful ‘Shoom’ and the synth-heavy, electro drum beat laden ‘This Ready Flesh’.

It is freezing in Toronto today and I am hiding inside enjoying some music videos. I wanted to share some with you to help warm you up if you are in a cold place as well. Hope you enjoy this week’s picks.
Austra: Spellwork - they are back with a new video.
Trust: Bulbform - check them out before they blow up after Coachella.
Modeselektor: Evil Twin - kind of Spy vs. Spy-esque.
Royal Baths: Black Sheep - art cool.
Superchunk: Crossed Wires - one of my favourite videos from last year.
Steezo: It’s Your Turn - a retro hip-hop classic.
Thanks for watching. See you again next week…make sure to spread the word by sharing the music video picks with your family and friends.
Thanks,
