Why-Axis - Bloodstain

Directed by Tara O’Callaghan

Look, I like a high-concept music videos as much as the next guy. You want to tell me the story of aliens that can only communicate through nosebleeds or whatever? I’m in. But just a warning, I’ll never like it as much as footage of cool people partying. Cool people partying, I raise my hat to you.

Real groups of mates. Real nights out. Just before lockdown. ‘Bloodstain’ explores Dublin nightlife, youth and culture - coincidently shot just before lockdown, something that might never be the same again.

Charli XCX - claws

Directed by Charli XCX and Charlotte Rutherford

I’m like: “Why not?” Charli XCX has more fun during lockdown than I have on a good day.

Chloe X Halle - Do it

Directed by C Prinz

Song : Dope. Choreography : Dope. Beat : Dope. I give this video an overall grade of Dope +. I would appreciate an “Oops! All Berries” version of this video with nothing but footage from that weird mirror cube.

aYia - Easy

Directed by Salomon Ligthelm

This video by the Icelandic alternative pop trio aYia is somewhere between 2001: A Space Odyssey and Enter the Void. There’s also some Inception thrown in for good measure, which should keep you entertained until Tenet inevitably comes out straight to VOD.

strongboi - honey thighs

Directed by Hush Moss & Jascha Müller-Guthof

This is me, if I was the big wig owner of a major record label :

“Hey strongboi, you guys are freaks. I dig. I’ll give you a million dollars cash in exchange for your soul.”

Bobby Cannavale would play me in the movie of their life.
