Five Seconds and Patient are two new videos from Twin Shadow that tell the story of a motorcycle gang called The Teds.
Both were directed by Keith Musil.
The songs are off of Twin Shadow's second album, Confess - a follow-up to his 2010 album Forget (which had videos for Castles in the Snow, Slow, and At My Heels).
Full previews of both albums are available at the band's site.

SMOOTH-FI? I guess things have gotten pretty out of hand with chillwave.

This feeling I have, is it when you realise you used to be with it, and then what I'm with isn't it anymore -- and it becomes strange and scary?

And so does the torch of "modern music" get passed to the next generation.

Slow has been a long favorite, especially the video. It is a beautiful and repulsive thing, and I'd hire the guy to be my drummer in a heartbeat five seconds. Forget was originally available to download for a buck; it was easily the best deal of 2010.

(And does this mean I have to take Patient off my MeFiSwap mix? I thought I was going pretty deep into the album, not picking off the second single. Hm.)

Damn it, it's enough that there's a radio show, now they have a motorcycle gang too?!

Interesting; I found Five Seconds pretty unengaging the first time I heard it a couple of days ago but it seems fairly compelling now. Maybe I've just come round to things that vaguely remind me of Top Gun in the meantime.

I used to have a radio show called "bro-fi" that was all about chillwave. In only two years it has completely outgrown me. Or the other way around.

I really liked Washed Out until I realized it was all slowed-down samples of other people's songs. I'm actually getting a little tired of people describing my own music as chillwave, because when it comes down to it, I don't feel like chillwave as a genre is really of any substance.
Is anyone going to be remembering Washed Out's "Life of Leisure" in 12 years like people today remember "Music Has A Right To Children"?
And don't get me started on the all-girl "surf" bands with "Beach" in the title.

carsonb & duncadunc:
The Slow video is a kind of homage to a series of weirdly dark ads Calvin Klein put out in the 90s: youtube.
