Artist: Van She

Video for the title track of Van She 's forthcoming album, out on Modular early July.

Photo source Well hello there, how is everyone? Recent spouts of warm weather have really improved moods around here lately, and there's been so many recent jams that go together swimmingly with the pleasant weather. Here's what I've been digging. Andrew Maury of the RAC provides a really carefree and upbeat vibe in his latest remix, utilizing some very addicting 8-bit sounds and an edgy bass synth then breaking out with some fantastic guitar riffs towards the end, creating one fun slice of summer. Waves is by a [...]

The four Aussie lads by the name of Van She are prepping a new record release and have hit us with a tasty sampler. The title track Idea Of Happiness [ music video ] is synth heavy cut that builds towards an awesome chorus. Fingers crossed, if it's anything to go by, the new album will also be full of infectious hooks and massive choruses. Idea of Happiness was recorded in Sydney but mixed in Los Angeles with Tony Hoffer (worked with Phoenix, M83, Air) and should see the light on July 10. Be sure to give the band and [...]

The week's two best videos both revolve around sticky nightmare realities where people act in ways that are entirely socially acceptable, and yet it looks like it might be vaguely fun to be in both groups of people. Maybe Justice's " Stress " video, or those original Die Antwoord clips, will turn out to be a bigger influence than anyone thought. But considering that one of the directors at work here is David Lynch, it's not really safe to play spot-the-influence. Watch this weeks' picks below. Read More...

Van She have a new record coming in July. In the meantime, enjoy this awesome and awkward fiesta themed video for 1st single, "Idea of Happiness". Everything about this is certainly my idea of bliss. Van She - "Idea of Happiness"

After taking a some time off from music videos in 2011, Andreas Nilsson is back with a vengeance this year with two videos for Miike Snow (and a third on the way) and this fantastic new clip for Aussie band Van She . The video revolves around a cast of outlandish characters including a charming, thong-wearing hippie named String Emil, a loner girl with a DIY eyepatch, a cowboy, and a dancing businessman. The peculiar group meet at a party and proceed to celebrate in the weirdest ways possible (BB guns, balloons and [...]

Van She : Idea of Happiness - Video

Love this song and these dudes.

From the Australians' sophomore full-length, Idea of Happiness .

Hace siglos que no escuchaba nada de estos australianos. Es una de esas bandas que tenía en mi iPod Classic (sincronizado con una eMac G4) junto con Black Strobe y White Rose Movement y demás. En fin, Van She acaba de lanzar el video de su nuevo sencillo " Idea Of Happiness ", que básicamente nos presenta con una situación navideña muy fuera de lo normal. ¿Cereza en el pastel? El director del video es Andreas Nilsson (Fever Ray). El nuevo disco de Van She se llama Idea Of [...]

Aussie dance-pop BTW Van She have a new video for their single " Idea Of Happiness ," and it revolves around an extremely bizarre Christmas party. This particular shindig involves a hippie in a banana hammock, a tanning-bed tryst, a celebratory bit of BB gun target practice, and all sorts of other stuff that doesn't make any sense at all. Apparently, this is how they do things in Australia. The video is a lot of fun, and Fever Ray collaborator Andreas Nilsson directs. Watch it below. Read More...

This track does not need gimmicks like a man in a thong (we will, however, exploit it to get some hits on our blog). Just check out 1:00 and then 2:38 of Van She 's new single, 'Idea Of Happiness', to see why naked bottoms are unnecessary.
