# Videodrome 84: This week’s best videos
Looks like we'll be seeing another huge wave of small budget music
videos in 2013. Two weeks in and we're already being treated to some
fabulous music videos from the likes of Is Tropical,
**Laura Mvula**, **Housse de Racket**, **Actress**, **SBTRKT** and, yup,
many more...
**#1 Factory Floor -- Fall Back**, directed by FF & Kit Fitzgerald
4-to-the-floor is still alive! Good to see US imprint **DFA** back in
the dance game thanks to amazing britsh outfit **Factory Floor**. Listen
to their dancy tunes and watch the video in its full glory. Best band of
2013, so far.
**#2 Charli XCX -- You (Ha Ha Ha)**, directed by Ryan Andrews
This girl is made for 2013. Watch out for her (as of now) untitled debut
album, expected sometime in February. But this should help us survive
until then.
**#3 Farafina Lolo -- Dakan**, dir?
TTT brought me here. Some kind of post-Shangaan kind of vibe. Love the
dancing style---amazing.
**#4 Is Tropical feat. Get People -- Venezuela**, directed by Gareth
Phillips
New video for post-poppers **Is Tropical**'s "Venezuela" track, taken
from the latest **Kitsuné** compilation. Ca marche bien.
**#5 Breach And Dark Sky -- The Click**, dir?
*Dazed Digital* premiered the video for **Breach & Dark Sky**'s new
single, "The Click". Made for the dancefloor.
**#6 Telephoned -- Nearly Lost You**, directed by Josh Wehle
Nice track from **Telephoned. **Last year the NY duo released their
amazing EP "Singles". Nu-Disco <3
**#7 Housse de Racket -- Aquarium**, directed by Frank Seiler
I can really enjoy French synth pop from time to time. One of the best
examples are **HdR**, who just released their new video for "Aquarium"
off the album *Alesia*. If you like **Yelle**, you'll like HdR.
**#8 Mountains -- Living Lens**, directed by Koen Holtkamp
Slow motion music from **Mountains** aka Brendon
Anderegg and Koen Holtkamp. Here's "Living
Lens" from the duo's forthcoming *Centralia* album---out on **Thrill
Jockey Records** January 22.
**#9 SBTRKT -- Trials of the Past**, directed by Ross Anderson
New video from one of last year's killer albums. Quite a surprise that
they are still commissioning videos... Anyway, you know the track, it's
dope---and the video is kinda twisted. Take care
**#9 Nü Sensae -- Spit Gifting**, dir?
What exactly is going on in Vancouver? Is punk coming back? Check the
likes of **Japandroids**, **White Lung**, **Peace**, **Destroyer**
or---yes---**Nü Sensae**. Check it.
**#10 How To Destroy Angels -- The Loop Closes**, directed by HTDA
Taken from their *An Omen* EP which was released this past November at
**howtodestroyangels.com**. Now we're awaiting the band's first full LP,
*Welcome Oblivion*. That album is set to release on March 5
through Columbia Records. Look out.
**#11 Looks Realistic -- Where Does It Come From?**, directed by Broken
Machine Films
**Looks Realistic** aka **Joseph Bastardo** and Ryan
Mulhall are about to releases their Where Does It Come
From? on tape and VHS through **Constellation Tatsu** at the end of
the month.
**#12 Laura Mvula -- Father Father**, dir?
Very talented **Laura Mvula** performs Father Father for **Rankin**'s
*Hunger TV*. Her acclaimed debut album *Sing To The Moon* is due to be
released 4th March 2013
**#13 Actress -- Voodoo Posse Chronic Illusion**
**Actress**' label **Werk Discs** has teamed up with** Ninja Tune** once
again, this time to release a new 12-inch sporting three new tracks from
the man. Pre-order the it directly from Ninja Tune (says "sold out"
though) or from Boomkat.
