Video: "Tambourine Submarine" - Recess Monkey

It's auteur phase of Recess Monkey's well-honored video career as for the first video off of their forthcoming Deep Sea Diver​ album they've stolen from, er, delivered an homage to the visual style of Wes Anderson.

I love Wes Anderson's movies (for the most part), so I mean that as high praise and admiration.​  Then again, Anderson is really just aping styles from the '60s, so if the boys from Seattle look like they're going through their Jacques Cousteau phase, maybe they're just going through a Jacques Cousteau phase.

Not sure where Cousteau (or Anderson) stand on rhythm-powered submersibles, though.​

Video: "Arctic Fox" - Elska

I wouldn't say that a lot happens in this video for "Arctic Fox," from Elska's brand-new album Middle of Nowhere.  But is it cute?  Oh, but yes.  (If the fox looks slightly akin to those in the Wes Anderson film The Fantastic Mr. Fox, that's because Elska's slumber-disturbing canid was animated by Andy Biddle, who also worked on the movie.)
