Thee Oh Sees – “Lupine Dominus” Music Video
Earlier this year, Thee Oh Sees returned with a new record, Putrifiers II, and album single “Flood’s New Light” seemed to indicate a mellower Thee Oh Sees on the horizon. But with their latest music video for “Lupine Dominus”, which director John Strong sums up with the words, “A young man enters a strip club with different intentions…” it seems the band’s grittiness is still present.
Thee Oh Sees’ last music video for “Chem-Farmer” involved Bavarian-style costumes, silly dance parties, and convenience store snacks galore, but in “Lupine Dominus”, the band decides to take a less playful approach (or at least “playful” in a wholly different way).
Putrifiers II was released September 11th, 2012 on the band’s longstanding label, In The Red Recordings.

Kasper Bjørke – Bohemian Soul
Halfway across the world, Thai ladyboys become the main subject in Kasper Bjorke’s music video for “Bohemian Soul”, which takes an intimate look backstage in dressing rooms and onstage during performances. This video presents a much larger emotional spectrum than “Lupine Dominus”, and as such, feels more like a glimpse into daily lives rather than exceptional one-off circumstance. The Copenhagen-based producer’s album, Fool, was released on April Fool’s Day, 2012, via hfn music.
