The moment you fall in love and the moment it falls apart. Life is ephemeral, but we are lucky it happens at all. 

Tom Rosenthal "I Got Myself a Finish" Directed by Thomas Vernay 
A music, a girl, some feelings.

Son Lux "Ransom" Directed by Jingyi Shao and Jess Jing Zou 
Son Lux is an incredible band that makes very cinematic music. Their songs often have their own emotional arcs, like in a story. With the song "Ransom", we felt a deep pain that somehow was also a driving force towards triumph and strength. We came up with the story of a female boxer whose fighting spirit is both fed and held back by her memories of an abusive yet also loving father. It was our attempt to try and match the complex musical arrangements and arc of Son Lux's brilliant song. 

Baltazar "Lluvia" Directed by Jorge G. Camarena 
The Music Video for Baltazar’s Lluvia addresses the pressure that the indifference of the world can have on one person, it’s bigotry depicted by a town and a father showing the repercussions that their actions cause on a romantic relationship. A woman is sentenced to death because her beliefs and sexual orientation do not align with those of society and the different institutions that compose it. Hate and lack of compassion come together to take away the light between two women, between two humans and destroy real love.

Chloé Bird "Fade" Directed by Ainhoa Rodríguez 
Conchita, a conservative and septuagenarian woman, returns home after cremating her husband. She is fed up with the suffocating social norms that have surrounded her, so she decides to break free. Meanwhile, a menacing shadow roams the house as the only companion of her solitude. "Fade", in its deep sense, is the story of an old woman who has a sexual fantasy. We do not know if it really is fulfilled or only remains in a fantasy. But the film tries to break this taboo. In our societies, that an old woman has an erotic fantasy is something that can not be possible, because women can not have fantasy or sexual desire. Her desire does not exist. A musical film written and directed by Ainhoa Rodríguez with Chloe Bird´s song "Fade", taken from her album "The darkest corners of my soul".

Foxtails Brigade "We Are Not Ourselves" Directed by Dominic Mercurio
"We Are Not Ourselves", as a song, is ripe for visual interpretation. It occupies this uneasy space between colorful and sinister while backed with an off-kilter cinematic arrangement. I soon realized it even followed a fairly traditional three-act structure within its peaks and valleys of intensity. The story was directly born out of matching musical moments within the song with what that moment could represent as a cinematic beat in a narrative. Percussive sounds became concrete actions, a verse filled with tense strings became a scene of suspense, an ominous synth swell became an unnerving reveal, the song title itself became the main thematic element of the story. With these specific moments in place as the skeleton of the video, the story began to manifest itself as the connective tissue between it all. The goal here being to not only make the song the soundtrack to the visuals, but actually the foundation on which the visual narrative stands. Without the backbone of the song, the visuals would slide off into a pile of motionless meaty flesh…which, come to think of it, still sounds pretty cool. -Dominic Mercurio (writer, director, editor of the music video. Drummer of Foxtails Brigade)
