FLYYING COLOURS "It's Tomorrow Now"
*VIVID RADIO is on the air*
Flyying Colours hail from Australia, which perhaps explains their bleached out, sun-soaked shoegaze.
Damaged psychedelics, the band have released a pair of EPs to date that demonstrate both vivid sound and astute songwriting.
Debut album 'Mindfulness' arrives on September 23rd via Club AC30, with Vivid Radio able to premiere the video for 'It's Tomorrow Now'.
Blistered, colour-soaked sound, the video features contributions from Thom Russell. Here's a quote from Flyying Colours:
"For the 'It’s Tomorrow Now' video we have worked with our good friend Thom Russell again. He has a unique way of capturing the ideas within our music and visually representing them. We have never provided him lyrics or anything like that, he just listens to the song and develops a way to present that as a video or image. Thom brings in concepts that despite much explanation, we never really know how they will work until the final product is ready - really, this means its as exciting for us as it may be for everyone else seeing it for the first time. This is our first video including the full Flyying Colours line up."
Check it out now.
'Mindfulness' will be released on September 23rd.
SWEAT "Acid Rainbow"
*VIVID RADIO is on the air*
Sweat is what happens when five voices, five distinct personalities cross paths.
Cult heroes in Peckham, the group are part of an explosion of creativity within the SE London area.
New cut 'Acid Rainbow' is almost indescribable. Part psychedelic abandon and part punk agenda, it soars into fresh territory without ever once looking back.
Vivid Radio is able to premiere the accompanying visuals, and it displays the same sense of creativity that makes Sweat's music so vital, so visceral.
The band's group-led approach extends to the visuals, with Sweat inviting a number of friends, colleagues, and compatriots down to the shoot.
The video features a dedication to the band's close friend George Russell, guitarist in south London band The Phobophobes, who tragically died earlier this year and acted in the video.
Check it out now.
MAAD "Black Ice"
*VIVID RADIO is on the air*
MAAD has some supreme connections.
A DJ, producer, songwriter and film maker, she's an all-rounder that refuses to be tied down.
A bona fide phenomenon on Instagram - check her account HERE - new cut 'Black Ice' ties each of these elements together.
Stylish pop in the vein of Solange or Lion Babe, there's a sense of fun, of abandon at work here that is downright contagious.
The video, though, is something else entirely. Bodies contort to the music, with the stylised cinematography sharply matching MAAD's furtive imagination.
Check it out now.
TETISH "Luck"
*VIVID RADIO is on the air*
Tetish essentially revolves around the talents of Etan Salomon and Itai Shitrit.
The Tel Aviv pairing are fascinated by songs and sound, with their material recalling the artful impact of Bat For Lashes, or The Cardigans.
Crisp electronic elements sit alongside pristine indie, with Tetish now plotting their debut full length statement.
Out on July 28th, the self-titled record is preceded by new cut 'Luck'. Immediately beguiling yet difficult to understand completely, the track gets to the heart of the duo's contradictory charm.
Check it out now.
M.I.A. "Go Off"
*VIVID RADIO is on the air*
M.I.A. revealed a new Skrillex-featuring single titled "Go Off," prefacing her next album, A.I.M.
Now the visual accompaniment for the new track has arrived. The video opts to focus on explosions across an array of landscapes rather than any human individuals, so we get to see mountains, roadways and desolate rocky pits get blown to smithereens.
Watch the calculated detonations "Go Off" in the player below. A.I.M. is due out on September 9.

JORDAN WELBOURNE "Rattlesnake Jake"
*VIVID RADIO is on the air*
Saskatchewan rocker Jordan Welbourne recently unleashed a new EP titled Reach Out, and now he's delivered some matching visuals for "Rattlesnake Jake" off of that same release.
The video marks the musician's first, and he wanted it to serve as an introduction to his live performance style. To capture his emotional delivery and chemistry with bandmates Jesse Dawson and Nathan Abramyk, Welbourne enlisted Bryn Becker to direct the clip.
"Jordan is a rock'n'roll badass and consummate showman," Becker tells Exclaim! "We shot a few takes of the song to get all the footage we need, and energy levels on stage, and in the crowd, actually ratcheted up each time. That's really impressive. We captured Jordan at his finest. When he lets the music pour out of him, you can see the passion in his face, you feel it in his vocals and from his guitar. The band gels beside him and behind him, and you can see in the video how tightly they come together to create one big sound. It's real energy, and it's a hell of a ride."
You can experience Welbourne's impressive live performance at the upcoming shows listed below, but first — check it out from the comfort of your own home by watching the video premiere for "Rattlesnake Jake."
