It looks like Shynola are back, after the sad news last year that their chief creative genius Gideon Baws had passed away suddenly, aged just 33. And the dream-like bizzarity that is this video for Coldplay’s new ditty won’t disappoint!

Fun-tastic new Franz Ferdinand video directed by the inimitable Kris Moyes, of barmy Heart It Races (Architecture in Helsinki) video fame. We love the general tongue-in-cheekery, and the visual high jinks. Watch and re-watch!
Stumbled upon this incredibly stylish new-ish animated music video made by illustrator/filmmaker Ferry Gouw for Major Lazer. Looks like Gouw got his inspiration from watching Sunday morning cartoons. Especially those from the 1970s and 1980s. Think: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe by Filmation and Scooby Doo by Hanna-Barbera. Those two studios popularized the … Continued

Fact is that Moby’s new music video was made by no one other than David Lynch. It’s a black and white animation about a … Continued
Isn’t it fun when a simply brilliant idea supersedes all that flashy, special effects technology? This clip for the poignant “Everytime” by London-based collective Oi Va Voi is comprised entirely of shredded paper, commanding new-found respect for the technique they call “photo motion”.
This is glorious! The now iconic visuals of Shepard Fairey a.k.a. Obey Giant in fully animated splendor. Set to a heady cocktail of David Byrne, Ras Congo, and Public Enemy chief Chuck D tunage, it’s all about the timely theme of Money (or lack thereof), and features a bunch of evil things like oil fields, … Continued
Yes! Another mind-blowing clip from Byron Bay’s hottest animation export pictureDRIFT. A fresh follow-up to the army of space penguins and long-legged night creatures of Hearts a Mess or the aquarelle fragility of Rock Bottom Rider, this video for new Ozzy band Temper Trap’s Science of Fear takes place in a cold, gravity-free Arctic world … Continued
