<p><strong>Every month, Moritz Gayard sifts through the deluge of new music videos so you don’t have to.</strong></p><p>Let’s dive into the A/V world once again. This month, I fell in love with the shockingly talented and mysterious Minnesota-based artist Spooky Black—that’s his video below, in the first spot. There’s also an instant classic from LA-duo 18+, fresh material from Berlin-based artists Call Super and Low Concept (AKA Physical Therapy and Renaissance Man), and much more.</p><p><strong>#1 Spooky Black – “Reason”</strong>, directed by Harry Sutherland</p><p><!--

--></p><p>I’m heavily addicted to this young lad. His aesthetic is pretty shocking; this particular clip is rife with dark pop elements, visual static, censorship, and wind simulation.</p><p><strong>#2 18+ – “Crow”</strong>, self-directed</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Don’t miss 18+’s nice little vid for their catchy track “Crow.” It shows nothing but befuddling, grainy, black and white images.</p><p><strong>#3 Sasha Go Hard – “My Story<strong>”</strong></strong>, directed by @apjfilms</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>In her latest video, Chicago rapper Sasha Go Hard takes everyone on a trip down memory lane in her latest visual, “My Story.” This joint can be found on Sasha’s <em>Feels So Good</em> mixtape.</p><p><strong>#4 Girl Band – “De Bom Bom”</strong></p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Bring the noise! Here’s a kaleidoscopic clip for GB’s rip-roaring new single. If you’re in Berlin, don’t miss <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/897910783571037/" target="_blank">their live gig at ACUD</a> this Saturday.</p><p><strong>#5 Suuns – “Sunspot”</strong>, directed by Ben Shemie</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Suuns has revealed the follow-up to last year’s <em>Images Du Future</em> LP: a 30+ music video for their glorious post-punk track “Sunspot,” which features extensive footage of compulsive hand-washing. Watch the full extravaganza above.</p><p><strong>#6 FaltyDL – “New Haven”</strong>, directed by Blair Neal & Kyle McDonald</p><p>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</p><p>Another standout video from of VICE’s Creators Project for Ninja Tune sweetheart FaltyDL.</p><p><strong>#8 Low Concept – “Bugz”</strong>, self-directed</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Next week, Physical Therapy and Renaissance Man will unleash their debut EP as Low Concept. Since I can’t wait for the full release, I’ve been watching this video over and over again.</p><p><strong>#9 Call Super – “Sulu Sekou”</strong>, directed by Lydia Corry</p><p>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</p><p>Berlin-based artist Call Super drops some unexpectedly minimal compositions here. This one is from his debut album, which is absolute fire and drops later this month.</p><p><strong>#10 Shabazz Palaces – “#CAKE”</strong>, directed by Hiro Murai</p><p>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</p><p>Here we have a pretty mind-blowing video from another one of our favorite records of the year, Shabazz Palaces’ <em>Lese Majesty</em>. This one is for “#CAKE.” It’s out now on Sub Pop.</p><p><strong>#11 Lee Gamble — “Mimas Skank”</strong>, directed by Dave Gaskarth</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>Birmingham-via-London based designer Dave Gaskarth has crafted this stunning video for Lee Gamble’s “Mimas Skank.” Check it out before his highly-anticipated PAN LP arrives in a few weeks.</p><p><strong>#12 Jabu – “Chamber”</strong>, directed by Harry Wright</p><p><!--
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
--></p><p>This was just what I needed. Jabu’s new video, the dark and moody “Chamber,” is the follow-up to his astonishing <em>Kwadian</em> EP from last month.</p>
