The Malavibra ft. The Tenacious - Leave
Often, the difference between a good video and one that isn't so good is having a clear idea of what the camera is capturing. In this Colombian-Mexican collaboration (a band from Guadalajara invited a singer living in Bogotá to collaborate vocally and then direct the video), it's clear there were no big budgets or extravagant set designs., And that everything works because the story is told with the right lens. A nostalgic song like this demands faithfully recreating an atmosphere, conveying a feeling that touches the heart, and this is achieved here through a good selection of shots, impeccable color palette, and the intelligent handling of rhythm and movement. In short, this is a fine piece of work that effectively presents a beautiful tune.
Every Tuesday – VHS
We continue with the melancholy, but now let's embrace pop aesthetics and fill the screen with vibrant colors. A recording like this, with lyrics that touch the soul of more than one person suffering from rock nostalgia and lovers of the Fab Four, A sensitive and uncomplicated animation style like the one used by Octavio Cid, the creator of this gem, is a perfect fit. The references to Yellow Submarine, the Beatles' 1968 film, and the texts, wrapped in cassette tapes, that recount the Soda Stereo era, blend seamlessly, creating the expected emotional impact. This work is captivating for its simplicity, its warmth, and the good humor it delivers from the very first second. A film worth watching again and again.
Sebastian Chacc – Rolls into the shore
Let's add a touch of modernity to the prevailing political atmosphere, let's give glamour to the protest and return in some way to the disco visual elements of the eighties to present a song by this Chilean artist with a new wave feel, whose compositions bring to mind groups like The Psychedelic Furs or Echo and the Bunnymen. This clip is the sum of a lot of disparate images made with different techniques, It gives the impression of being a track meant to be used as a backing track at this musician's concerts rather than a promotional piece for the sound production on YouTube. Nevertheless, the performance is adequate and enjoyable.
Axel Fiks – Come Home Today
Axel Fiks, a Buenos Aires artist who flirts with various genres, including indie rock, jazz and hip hop, has been kidnapped. We are informed, through a video clip, that he has woken up with a severe hangover, noticing that he is in a room that smells of sex, alcohol and a wild party. With a vacant stare, she tries to decipher on an old television the dancing moves displayed in an archival clip of the unforgettable Sandro of America, and she can't quite piece together everything that happened before she regained her senses. While grappling with her existential doubts amidst the heavy scent of the party's end, she manages to say «"I feel lonely, come to my house today."». In short, a delightful video work, based on a superb song and a splendid visual expression.
