SATURDAY IN VIDEOS: The Walkmen // The Antlers // Jay-Z // Dan Deacon

New animated video for "On The Water" featuring a adorable rabbits, a hunter, a dog, a confetti gun and great shading. Directed by Nir Ben Jacob.

Another animated video this time for The Antlers' "Two." I'm still not quite sure why they haven't really blown up. But the video does feature cut out balloons [which I take to be notes] that float from guitars and pianos out to the world. They will reach more ears that way, as intended. Watch out for flying body parts...

Though I have no idea what Dan Deacon says in his song "Paddling Ghost", I can get a good idea by watching the video which starts out with, literally, a paddling ghost. The story is actually pretty solid and comprehensive for what the song is. By the way, the confused little ghost is the most adorable thing in the world [and outer space].
