One Second of Love
Here are a couple of music videos that came across in my inbox.
AUSTRA
austramusic.com
I previously mentioned Toronto's Austra, that Tasseomancy are part of Austra's touring band. I got a note that their new video for 2012 is for their song "Spellwork" (see it on youtube). The video is creepy with a mix of witchcraft and lots of smoke in the forest. It reminds me of The Wicker Man (the original, not the Nicholas Cage remake).
Anyroad, if you fancy some boobs, webhands, and women dancing around, this equally creepy video for "Beat and the Pulse" is not safe for work. For the clean version, head over to youtube.com.

NITE JEWEL

Nite Jewel is the alias of Ramona Gonzalez, currently based out of California. She is currently signed to Secretly Canadian, the label houses such acts like Antony and the Johnsons, Here We Go Magic, Gardens and Villa, Music Go Music, and Yeasayer.
Nite Jewel's album One Second of Love came out earlier this month. The lead single and video for "One Second of Love" looks like a scene from some 70s Satan movie. The video is creepy and scary, and had a bit of humor (if you stay until the end for the censored flash).
Did you catch her at SXSW? If not, she's currently on tour with Chairlift:

Rise
EMILY LACY

I couldn't figure out what this video for Emily Lacy's "Rise" is about. It starts off with a fire. Then a woman (I am assuming it is Lacy) in a tablecloth dress (?), her face covered with white paint. Then … is that the US Embassy? Yep, weird.
According to Lacy, the free EP (available on emilylacy.bandcamp.com) was inspired by the Occupy movement.

The Occupy protests really grabbed my attention and had an intense effect on my daily life. I was challenged by both the ideas and the physical logistics involved in the protests; how they took form and were dismantled, and what it meant to see all that firsthand. I got into the idea of witnessing, of bearing witness to conflict and confrontation. I started to see that ideas are really dangerous, that they can force us to imagine things differently, and I think the reason the major camps were stamped out is because they were too effective in bringing the heat, the fire, the pressure for things to actually change. The protest encampments were like a flame that would not go out. It was vital for me to just record the intensity of what I was witnessing.-Emily Lacy
