Video: David Byrne / St Vincent "WHO"

20. Jack White - "Sixteen Saltines" (Director: AG Rojas ) There's something delightfully chaotic about the suburban Lord of the Flies situation Jack White finds himself in the video for Blunderbuss track "Sixteen Saltines." Too bad he gets burned alive at the end. 19. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. - "We Almost Lost Detroit" (Director: Andrew Smart) We're not from Detroit. Nor are we on the verge of losing it. But there's something about the video for [...]

Each month at our sister blog, Seen Your Video , we watch a ton of music videos and share the best ones with you. These are my five favorites for the month of September.

St. Vincent is the performance pseudonym for Annie Clark, a very talented American multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter and former member of both The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens’ touring band. She recently collaborated with David Byrne, head vocalist of the Talking Heads, on a new album released this week,  Love This Giant . The two co-wrote 10 of the 12 tracks on the disc, with each artist also penning one song individually.  Their first single, "WHO",  is an effective and effortless blend of naturally programmed percussion, featuring lots of mid-range brass and reed instruments such as the trumpet, saxophone, trombone , French horn, tuba, and euphonium. The result is a compellingly unique, [...]

Danish director Martin de Thurah 's new video begins and ends the same way, with David Byrne getting out of his car to examine a lifeless Annie Clark lying down on a road, and in between the clip features a whole lot of herky-jerky dance moves and erratic time-jumps.

With modern cameras capable of capturing colors we don’t even have names for, the decision to shoot in black-and-white is not a decision to be made lightly. In his video for the David Byrne/St. Vincent collaborative song “Who,” director Martin de Thurah not only uses black-and-white to establish a sense of Twilight Zone -esque otherworldliness but he also utilizes his limited color palette to reemphasize the importance of both artists in the creation of the song. The video begins with a dapper David Byrne cautiously getting out of his car to inspect an unresponsive Annie Clark who happens [...]
