Halloween was last week, but you can keep the bad vibez flowing by watching the new video from local noise-pop outfit Cars Can Be Blue. "Monster" is a tune from the band's third LP, Trace the Tension (just out on HHBTM; look for a Flagpole review next week).

Like much of the band's output, "Monster" is kitschy and caked in grime, a tough and tawdry tale of nightmarish childhood memories. The black-and-white video, directed by Jordan Reyes, is a fun if slightly unsettling watch:

Homedrone: Watch a New Scott Low Video

By Gabe Vodicka | October 21, 2013 11:37am

Efren frontman Scott Low recently released a new solo album, The Stories I Shouldn't Tell, via SLO PRO Records. The album traverses some wide-ranging territory—the first single, "Cactusgrass," was a shadowy folk-hop number, while much of the album digs into a more straightforward Americana sound.

The latter is where you'll find "Stuck in the Country," the second single from the record, a video for which can be seen below. It's simple and sepia-toned and country-tinged.

Check it after the jump.

of Montreal. Not pictured: Dong.

In Flagpole music writer Christopher Joshua Benton's cover story on of Montreal this week, he makes reference to the band's 2007 Las Vegas show where frontman Kevin Barnes performed entirely nude. (Pics here if you want proof and/or are looking for a quick way to get fired.)

Well, it seems Barnes is up to his old weiner-barin' tricks once again. The new Nina Barnes-directed video for "Fugitive Air," the first single from of Montreal's excellent new album Lousy with Sylvianbriar, features Barnes and singer/bandmate/muse Rebecca Cash goofin' around with some psychedelic colors and costumes and paint and oh who the hell cares about all that the whirlin' dongle shot is at 0:34 go ahead and point your clicker there.

Homedrone: New Videos: T. Hardy Morris, Powerkompany

T. Hardy Morris and T. Hardy Morris

Here are two new music videos—excuse me, one new music video and one new music film—for your viewing plej.

The "music film" (seems a tad precious, but it was shot on film, so I guess it's OK) comes courtesy of local songwriter T. Hardy Morris and Austin, TX-based website Transistor Six. It accompanies the title track from Morris' recently released solo LP; the Super 8-shot clip is a nice analogue (get it?) to the warm, nostalgic tune.
