Surfer Blood - Swim (To Reach The End) (Video)

With the release of their debut album Astro Coast now in stores, Florida's Surfer Blood have finally put out their first official video to go with it. "Swim (To Reach The End)" is easily one of the catchiest songs I heard last year. Directed by Chunwoo Kae & Kevin Chapados (Abraham Obama).

Mia Doi Todd - Open Your Heart (Video)

I don't know anything about Mia Doi Todd, but this new video from Michel Gondry is another beautiful combination of colour and synchronized movement that only he could dream up. A large group of people in a rainbow of clothing provide simple yet surreal visuals to match the music. The song will appear on Mia's next album, due out sometime in 2010.

Broken Bells - The High Road (Video)

Looks like another solid collaboration for Danger Mouse, this time teaming up with The Shins' frontman James Mercer to form Broken Bells. Their self-titled album hits stores in March, but in the meantime, enjoy this new video directed by Sophie Muller.

Muse - Resistance (Video)

The latest Muse video consists of mostly live concert footage, and yet still somehow manages to be pretty epic. I guess that should come as no surprise... it is Muse after all. Directed by Wayne Isham.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Skeletons (Video)

The YYYs go goth in this new video from director Barney Clay (who also happens to be Karen O.'s boyfriend). January seems like an appropriate month to release a video for a song that was written during a snow storm.

N.A.S.A. - O Pato feat. Kool Kojak & DJ Babão (Video)

The latest video from one of my favourite albums of '09 is a graffiti-style animated interlude featuring intoxicated animals and a pair of astronauts. I suppose it's NSFW, but just barely. Directed by Didiu Rio Branco and Robson Minghini.
