# Videodrome 129 – This week’s best videos
Hola and welcome to the first edition of Videodrome in 2014. This year
we're going to continue selecting the ten coolest videos of each week,
no worries. Today we start the fun with new audiovisual work from
beloved artists such as Excepter, patten, Torn Hawk and many more. Ready
to explore?
**#1 Excepter -- "Maids"**, directed by Harrison Owen
Yes, yes, [Excepter][1]{: target="_blank"} is back! Watch the uplifting,
colorful video above and stay tuned for their next LP, *Familiar*. Due
sometime this year from [Blast First Petite][2]{: target="_blank"}.
**#2 Torn Hawk -- "Bad Deadlift"**, directed by Luke Wyatt
Torn Hawk returns with proper four track 12-inch "Bad Deadlift". The
accompanying video is a hellish NSFW-DIY manoeuvre, which ends after the
five minutes thirty seconds mark and continues for another two minutes
with a lot of blood. Also nice: the slow jam during the last three
seconds.
**#3 Actress -- "Grey Over Blue"**, directed by Nic Hamilton
Here's a video edit of original material to [Actress][3]{:
target="_blank"}' "Grey over Blue", a track which is perfectly suited
for this dark and ominous video above. *[Twin Peaks][4]{:
target="_blank"}*, anyone?
**#4 patten -- "Drift"**, directed by Jane Eastlight
A new album from [patten][5]{: target="_blank"} titled *ESTOILE NAIANT*
will be released on February 24th. Today you can get an early idea
through watching the video for "Drift", above.
**#5 CUTS -- "CUTS 01"**
Invada-signed [CUTS][6]{: target="_blank"} come correct with the usual
dark electronic-almost-industrial feel. Last month they did a great
performance during the [Invada 10th Anniversary show][7]{:
target="_blank"}, but I can't tell you anything else. Enjoy the mystery
for now.
**#6 Wild Beasts -- "Wanderlust"**, Directed by NYSU
Neat video for the new [Wild Beasts][8]{: target="_blank"} song
"Wanderlust"---that final scene with the birds and *ooohhh*. This is the
British indie pop ensemble's first new material since the 2011 release
of *Smother*. There will be some buzz.
**#7 K.Raydio & Psymun -- "Sweet Dreamz"**, directed by SwayHeavy
Minnesota-based singer [K.Raydio][9]{: target="_blank"} and beatmaker/MC
[Psymun][10]{: target="_blank"} are an unstoppable duo. Check the spaced
out, kaleidoscopic visuals above and make sure to head to their
[Bandcamp][11]{: target="_blank"} to stream the rest of the album.
**#8 Twin Shadow -- "Cupid"**
Twin Shadow's George Lewis Jr. has posted another video for his ongoing
*UNDER THE CVRS* series. It's a cover of nineties R&B collective
112's hit from 1996, "Cupid".
**#9 Cass McCombs -- "Big Wheel"**, directed by Albert Herter
Not what you'd expect from the video for a [Cass McCombs][12]{:
target="_blank"} folk rock tune. CMC released his twenty-two track
double album *Big Wheel And Others* last year via [Domino][13]{:
target="_blank"}, and today he's sharing a visual for the almost-title
track, "Big Wheel".
**#10 Black Devil Disco Club -- "Stay Insane"**, directed by Jorey Salas
Terrible name. Great music. Nice video. ~
