Directed by Arnfinn Moseng and Negar Bagheri from the album, Eight Ways.
In 2003 during a Mexico City festival, which they managed to travel with last minute arrangements, they arrived and found something amiss. None of the Norwegian band's equipment had arrived. They had to borrow equipment and went on with the show, an adventure for the, "pale Norwegians".
For a metal video, its quite peaceful to watch. Sometimes the director tries to go for the dark theme too much but in this case, the song is mellow, therefore the video is mellow. All white background, all white clothing with creative animated transitions to keep interest...

The Lodger eyeing I Think I Need You
Directed by Ash Pears and Richy Lloyd from the EP, I Think I Need You.
Coming together for the first time in 2004, the band released three EPs before creating their debut album, Grown-Ups. It was ranked fourth in UK's webzine DIY list of albums of the year for 2007.
Color scheme takes the video to another era, even though the clothes are of the present. Thought he would end up with a cellphone...

Bat For Lashes eyeing Pearl's Dream
From the album, Two Suns.
Two Suns is, "a record of modern-day fables exploring dualities on a number of levels – two lovers, two planets, two sides of a personality," according to its press release. Fitting for her work has been compared from the like of Fleetwood Mac to Björk.
So far so good for the video releases from "Two Suns". Another abstract video though this one seems more telling. A fight with the inner demons within us though based on the wig color choice, one would think that the wrong Natasha died. Yes, there are two, find out below...

Kasabian eyeing Underdog
From the album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum.
"West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum was a mental institution built in the 1800's in West Yorkshire, England and housed the "mentally-poor". It was later changed to the High Royds Psychiatric Hospital and was then shut down back in 2003." [strangeglue]
Could have been another relatively simply performance video except for one thing, the shots of the crowds with their hands in the air. Seeing that made everything seem epic, and it didn't hurt that the tune has a sixties vibe to it, bringing back memories of the glory days of rock and roll.

Patrick Wolf eyeing Hard Times
Directed by Ace Norton from the album, The Bachelor.
At age 16, Patrick earned money by performing on the streets with a string quartet in London. After performing at a club in Paris, Kristian Robinson(Capitol K), released Wolf's debut album Lycanthropy.
The blacklight scenes that appear quaterway into the video do really well to keep one's attention. The colors are already blinding but to add a kaleidoscope effect makes the viewer's eyes bulge out of their sockets. By the way, some people weren't actually drumming...

From the album, When The World Comes Down.
Tyson Ritter(lead vocals) and Nick Wheeler(lead guitar) have known each other since they were 14. The formed the group in 2001 and released their first EP, Same Girl, New Songs that summer.
Does drinking Tuborg lead to backseat action? Titanic anyone?

The Higher eyeing It's Only Natural
Directed by Justin Coloma from the album, It's Only Natural.
Posted on the band's MySpace, "If Justin Timberlake were a band, he'd be The Higher". Founding member Tom Oakes(guitar/vocals) left the band early 2008 because of personal and creative differences. The band went on to perform their first European tour in April 2008.
Bubblegum color scheme helps define the band as power pop. The random dance party that erupts calls out to "High School Musical". Those are some bright freezer cabinets during the guitar solo scene...

The Darlings eyeing Where Do We Go
Filmed by The Darlings from the EP, The Darlings.
inthisweek.com describes The Darlings as a band for those who like Tiger Army and AFI. On What Lies Below they sing, ""Say a prayer as you're sung to sleep/And behold the sacred melody/Say a prayer as you walk the plank/You've been chosen now hang from the gallows." Though many bands sing of similar doom and gloom, The Darlings deftly strike a balance between setting the mood and killing the moment".
Find a corner and jam is all the video entailed. The long, thoughtful drive depicted was never resolved. Did he reach the beach? And why the black and white for his scenes?

Yeah Yeah Yeahs eyeing Heads Will Roll
Directed by Richard Ayoade from the album, It's Blitz!
Young band Tiny Master's of Today benefited from Karen O(vocalist) and Nick Zinner's(guitarist) work on their debut album Bang Bang Boom Cake. The track Hologram World was written via email between the two camps and featured Karen O's vocals and Nick Zinner's guitar work.
Literally wild video that features a werewolf-like Michael Jackson. A dinner and show goes out of control ending in graphic fashion. We all sparkle on the inside...
