yvynyl premiered the official music video for Pillars and Tongues’ (Tumblr | Bandcamp) “Thank You, Oaky”, today. The mysterious video is directed and produced by the talented folks at 19th State Productions. The song is dark and driving, unsettling and addictive, spartan and mystical… and the video is beautiful. “Thank You, Oaky” comes from Pillars and Tongues’ most recent album on Empty Cellar Records, The Pass and Crossings.

Gorilla Vs. Bear debuted two rad music videos for The Sandwitches this week. Above you have a stunning video for “In The Garden”, off of their most recent LP Mrs. Jones Cookies,directed by Ryan Browne and shot at San Francisco’s legendary Esta Noche. Below you “Benny’s Memory Palace,” taken from their new Hardly Art 7″ single, The Pearl. Created/directed by the talented Sophia McInerney. Both videos are most excellent:
