New videos for new music: Moby and Bjork
Posted by Leilani Polk on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 5:26 PM
It used to be that MTV would overplay videos to such a degree that it was impossible not to know the latest singles by Madonna, or Prince, or Michael Jackson (may he RIP). Those artists blew wads of cash to make miniature movies for their songs. (Michael and sister Janet's 1995 acclaimed video duet, "Scream," cost $7 million alone to produce.)
Nowadays, MTV doesn't play videos so much as it airs clips of them during the closing credits of its neverending reality TV programming, so
Artist: Moby
Songs: "Shot in the Back of the Head," "Pale Horses."
Both of Moby's new singles have intrigued me with their raw electro-meets-organic feel. The video for "Shot in the Back of the Head" is David Lynch's dark and abstract translation of the song, which is rather gloomy all on its own; and "Pale Horses," the second single with haunting female vocals by Amelia and melancholy overtones, is directed by Elanna Allen and follows a lonely alien who takes a train to the moon to find some companions. Both are animated, but in very different styles.
Grade: A for both; the music was good and the videos compelling enough to make me want to check out Moby's new album. (CHECK OUT THE VIDEOS AFTER THE JUMP).
Artist: Bjork
Album: Voltaic
Songs: None. It's a preview of the DVD, though apparently there are some videos included in it. I read this on Amazon and actually became interested in checking it out: "The New York Times called it 'a 21st-century assemblage of the computerized and the handmade, the personal and the global.' Voltaic, then, is a remarkable, multi-media document of what happened after the record was completed, a journey of a different sort as the ever-evolving singer assembled her live band, made a collection of typically amazing videos and one-step-ahead remixes, and toured the world for two years, making headline appearances at diverse venues and large festivals, including Glastonbury, Coachella and even Harlem’s Apollo Theatre."
Grade: NONE; the preview was good and all, but what about the videos?!?! Release some of those babies!
