Video of the day: Culk – Salvation

Fresh on the heels of their very well-received self-titled debut album, Culk have released the blood-laden and mysterious video to their latest single, Salvation, which sees lead-singer Sophie Löw sing in almost nonchalant fashion over the lo-fi guitar and minimalistic sounds which the band is slowly becoming known and loved for. Watch it above and get the album here on Siluh Records.

If you have listened to the album yet, then you are sorely missing out.

ABOUT

With playful electronic rock on their EP „»GodGiven«“ LEX AUDREY already surfaced on Austria’s music scene one and a half years ago. Now their first album „No Intention of Changing the World“ finally follows. It’s an album that sometimes stirs up its listener’s thoughts, but then again leaves with a positive vibe.

Lukas Staudinger, Patrick Pillichshammer and Niklas Pichler present an album which is very rich in variety. Although the sounds range from funky bass-lines in „Lost to You“ over heaviness and pathos in „metaphor“ to complete silence in „From Beginning“, LEX AUDREY manage to create their very own sound after all and allow the listener to dive into their world.

On „No Intention of Changing the World“ Niklas Pichler, the mastermind behind LEX AUDREY, writes about various situations in life, but one can recognize his involvement with negative aspects of the influence of digital technology on society as a common theme. As a result, some songs end up having more than just one meaning. By saying „all she’s loving is a picture“ in the ballad „From Beginning“ on the one hand he describes not being able to let go of something, but on the other hand sings about the vanishing distinction between reality and staging. The intro track „Lost to You“ can also be interpreted as a love song for a human or a machine at the same time.

Video of the day: Bilderbuch – LED go

They just can’t help themselves, can they? Just when you think they can’t get any better they go and pull another piece of magic out of their deep hat of creative wonders. This time it is the wonderfully weird and colourful video to the equally eclectic and catchy new tune ‘LED go’ as the band explore what it would be like to play some weird, almost 1980s post-apocalyptic-style game of human pool.

Watch it above, preferably on repeat.

Video of the day: At Pavillon – Believers

It still seems a little strange to hear people calling At Pavillon ‘newcomers’, especially because it’s almost SIX years since we first featured the band on Substance is Meaningless. Fuck, feel old much? That was way back with the first release of their single ‘Lions’ and their potential was clear to see from the very start.

It’s therefore gives us great pleasure to see the band doing so well, and their latest video to ‘Believers’ is a glossy, cinematic piece that adds further drama to the song.

Their debut album “BELIEVE US” comes out on Las Vegas Records this month. Make sure you add it to your collection.

Video of the day: Schmieds Puls – ‘The Plan’

Filmed in a Vienna gym, the latest video by Schmieds Puls, directed by Liesa Kovacs & Nick Prokesch features women of a variety of shapes, sizes and sexualities lifting heavy weights and supporting each other.

Mira explains “This song is dedicated to my mania and the illusion of having to do everything by myself. If you leave it to me then I can heal all nations. I don’t ever want to unlearn how to ask for assistance or help. It does not make you weak. So we made this clip about strength and muscles and empowerment.”

Watch the compelling video above. ‘The Plan’ is taken off their new album Manic Acid Love, get it here.
