Gracious. The Spaces We Make

Shot over 36 hours with a crew of two and a $500 budget, the video for Melbourne five-piece Snakadaktal's debut single Chimera is a thrifty delight.

The song is a festival-friendly slow-burner that reminds me of the best bits of Foals' Total Life Forever, embellished with vocalist Phoebe's feminine touch. Snakadaktal are all still in high school and are set to release their debut EP next month. The youth of today, hah?

Take A Second Look And You'll See

Mysterious Swedes Icona Pop have shed a little more light on their identities in their new video for debut single proper, Manners. Neon light, specifically.

After the track proved a source of mild blogospheric hysteria last year when was included on a Kitsuné compilation, it will now be released internationally on Mercury Records.

The other handful of tracks I've heard by them are all top notch, although Lyndsay wasn't entirely sold on their live show when she saw them in New York recently.
