5. “Daniel” [dir. Johan Renck]

-Bat for Lashes

Natasha Khan always scores big pointage for creativity. And who doesn’t love a creepy chase video?

4. “When I Grow Up” [dir. Martin de Thurrah]

-Fever Ray

Karin Dreijer Andersson (The Knife) hardly lacks imagination - a harlequin dancing on a diving board over a dirty pool? She somehow pulls off weird without pretension.

3. “Two Weeks” [dir. Patrick Daughters]

-Grizzly Bear

Exploding heads are cool! P. Daughters is unquestionably following in Michel Gondry’s quirky footsteps!

2. “The Reeling” [dir. Hydra (John Hobbs, Ariel Danziger, Sam Stephens)]

-Passion Pit

A bit too “disco” for me at times, but dig that ripped magazine effect.

1. “Lessons Learned” [dir. Taylor Cohen and Otto Arsenault]

-Matt & Kim

This video is my #1 because it involves two of my favorite things: New York City and nudity! (It just sounds good, OK?)
