The Red Shoes video from the anarchic and unpredictable Yonkersville Marching Society is as frenetic, as irreverent and as charmingly bonkers as you might imagine.

Next stop Scotland (the forest outside Dalmally to be precise) and a film of Calum, a 79 year old local hero building a woodshed. It is soundtracked by Washington Irving and their single Abbey Gallop.

Pop Song is the first video from energetic Toronto indie rockers Broken Bricks. It has a nice stylized 60s retro feel.

Months of animation went into the video for Overboard by The Ramshackle Union Band – thankfully the song, a woozy bluegrass tinged number, is as good as the film!

By contrast, Little Racer’s video for their song of the same name is as quirky as it is romantic.

Clubfeet’s Fall From Here is as haunting visually as it is musically. Sonically diverse it manages to be simultaneously melancholy, eerie, depressing and beautiful.

We also have some rather good psychedelic garage from France in the shape of Le Pecheur. This is Holy Mountain from their album Medieval Dreams.
a
Black Light White Light describe themselves as a retroactive bohemian psych rock band and this is their first video for One Fast Move Or I’m Gone, which comes from the Danish band’s debut album Infrared Daylight. It has a rather touching story between a sheep dog and his charge. Watch and grab another track from the album.
