TERELL SAFADI "Day Ones"

*VIVID RADIO is on the air*

Vancouver upstart Terell Safadi recently teamed up with hip-hop hitmaker DJ Mustard for a new track dubbed "Day Ones," and Vivid Radio has your first look at the accompanying music video.
 
While shopping his music in Los Angeles, Safadi met DJ Mustard through a mutual friend who worked with the producer on Viceland's Bomptondocumentary. The meeting turned into a musical collaboration, and the result is an ode to those who have stuck by Safadi since the beginning.

 
The new video for "Day Ones" opens with Safadi looking out over the Vancouver skyline, serving as an homage to his hometown roots (despite repping a Chicago Bulls jersey). Once the bottles start popping, things quickly turn wild fast.
 
Get in on all the party action by watching the Kevin Wong-directed clip for "Day Ones" below.

MICAH VISSER "Keeping Up"

*VIVID RADIO is on the air*

Back in the fall, Winnipeg indie popster Micah Visser debuted "I Will Not Return as a Tourist." Now, sharing his name with a full band, Visser is gearing up to release a new EP titled Forward. The upcoming EP will feature the aforementioned cut, as well as the brand new single "Keeping Up" — and Exclaim! is giving you the first look at the video for the latter.

 
The tune blends sugary pop sounds with darkly personal lyrics, while the video finds Visser and his bandmates delivering the song deadpan to the camera beneath balloons that spell out "Keeping Up." Other lyrical snippets make their way on to the screen looking like decorative banners, as the song's refrain tries to buoy dampened spirits.
 
Forward is due out on September 9. For now, though, watch the charming clip for "Keeping Up" in the player below.
 

MSTRKRFT "Runaway"

*VIVID RADIO is on the air*

Before Toronto titans MSTRKRFT have you dialling up their Operator in full, the dance music duo are looking to make you move to another pre-release single. You can pick up some wild and wobbly moves via the tutorial that is their new video for "Runaway."

The song itself starts with a seasick, broken Speak & Spell melody, though Jesse Keeler and Al-P quickly lock into a fabulously swerved, French Touch groove.

Visually, the piece is driven by a wriggly limbed individual whose journey has him poppin' by park benches, twisting in used car lots, and cruising over to a motel room. His lithe, leather-jacketed body eventually collapses, but the clip ends on a decidedly "lit" note.

You can peep the visuals below, courtesy of Pitchfork, while Operator hits retailers July 22 via Last Gang Records.

DEATH GRIPS "Eh"

*VIVID RADIO is on the air*

Death Grips' "Eh" was one of the highlights from their most recent record Bottomless Pit. Now the track has been given the video treatment with a glitchy new clip.

Directed by Sean Metelerkamp, the colourful video uses a wealth of editing techniques in to bring line-focused three-dimensional figures to life. Look close enough and you can see a blue MC ride delivering his verses in between footage of two other figures.

Bottomless Pit is out now through the band's own Third Worlds and Harvest. Watch the video for "Eh" in the player below.
