Handsome Finnish dudes and elves freaking around in this psytrancerock music video.

Pretty Woman on Acid…

17 Jun

…that is what a friend who told me about this video called it. And it is pretty spot on. The video for Bear in Heaven’s “Sinful Nature” by director Yoonha Park is uncanny valley’s take on the slick fairytale drowned in a very synthetic high. Bam!

(My favourite part is the yellow Walkman pirouetting through the scene while that Julia Robots is stripping out of her top around 1:24)

[Thank you for the suggestion, Daniel!]

Asaf Avidan // Different Pulses – Official Video – Directed by Vania Heymann

9 Jun

Israeli director Vania Heymann has become quite an internet phenomenon in Israel. In the past few months, Vania, a film student from Jerusalem has come out of nowhere and released a series of inspiring and highly viral videos into the Israeli web. His latest work, a video clip for Assaf Avidan’s track Different Pulses, has a nice hallucinatory feel to it.

Turkish Coffee – Arik Einstein clip by Dudu Geva

28 May

Dudu Geva was one of Israel’s foremost comics artists. His style was chaotic, radical and very psychedelic. Geva created this video to Arik Einstein’s song “Turkish Coffee” in 1974. It is the first Israeli music video, and has a strong 1970’s psychedelic style. The actor in the clip is Geva himself, incidentally.

Nicki Minaj – Stupid Hoe & Super Bass

26 May

Hip Hop artist Nicki Minaj has been noted for her psychedelic wardrobe and style . Like other pop artists which were featured here on the DPV such as Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kesha and Rihanna,  Minaj uses psychedelic elements in her work and proves that the psychedelic style holds great appeal for today’s popular culture.  Even though the message of her videos is far from psychedelic, the visuals are blatantly pyschedelic, which makes me think once again about the way in which psychedelic aesthetics has migrated into exceedingly different segments of popular culture, and ask myself about the role which psychedelic aesthetics play in such an environment.

Anyway, enjoy the clips.
