We stumbled upon a couple of very inventive and innervating official videos from The Manchester Orchestra and Eskmo.

First up is Eskmo‘s  video (directed by Cyriak Harris) for the song We Got More.  Eskmo is Brendan Angelides, a San Francisco-based electronic music producer who records and performs live as Eskmo.  Technically impressive, this Escher-esque video provides great encouragement to leave the computers, smart-phones and TVs behind and set out on a stroll along the beach or hike up into some hills, and think outside the silicon.

Next up is The Manchester Orchestra‘s video (directed by DANIELS) for their anthemic song Simple Math (the title track to their most recent album).  The Manchester Orchestra took the Santa Barbara Bowl by storm recently at the Summer Roundup, and is orchestrating a growing following.  The song Simple Math has echoes of Built to Spill vocally, and the video’s visuals are built to spill your emotions across the road and kitchen. Check it out.
