Video: Daphni - "Pairs" - 09.25.2012
On Oct. 9, Dan Snaith is releasing JIAOLONG, his sort-of follow-up to Caribou's Swim, under the name Daphni. It's a transformation that's allowing Snaith to veer even further into dance music territory, and today he's released a new video from the album, for "Pairs." It's mostly just some trippy, kaleidoscopic effects, but hey, it works for us. Watch it courtesy of Spin.

Video: Dum Dum Girls - "Lord Knows" - 09.25.2012
With Halloween just around the corner, it makes perfect sense that Dum Dum Girls court the occult in the video for "Lord Knows," off the End of Daze EP that's out this week. Frontwoman Dee Dee takes part in a strange ritual in this clip, which features a little blood for good measure. It's pretty cool! Watch the Christin Turner-directed clip below.
