Doe Paoro’s very first single “Can’t Leave You” was met with huge critical acclaim and made a big splash among music fans. Her Tibetan Lhamo influence is felt a bit more strongly in her strong second breathtaking single “Born Whole.” Thankfully, the video comes in time to tide us over until her February 14th debut release “Slow to Love.” Watch the video exclusively on NME!
I Am Oak is the title Dutch singer/songwriter Thijs Kuijken has taken as his stage name.

American fans of Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, and The National -this is definitely one you’ll want to download. Get it on MP3.com toady.

The cool black-and-white video accompanies House of Blondes’ dark electro-synth single “Come Running.” Those interested in improvisation should definitely take notice: the band’s music relies heavily on improv, even in the studio. Watch above or see it on Popmatters!
No computer animation here! The remarkable visuals were created using the painstaking process of stop-motion animation. Just simple cassette tapes and the colored lights underneath are enough to create an excellent video to accompany The Elkcloner’s latest single.
