Ty Dolla $ign, Skrillex, Kanye West, and FKA Twigs Drop Kaleidoscopic “Ego Death” Animated Video
A few days after teasing the official music video for their collaborative single “Ego Death,” Ty Dolla $ign, Skrillex, Kanye West, and FKA Twigs have unveiled the final version. The four artists opted for an animated video by Emonee LaRussa, a two-time Emmy Award-winning motion graphics artist who enlisted the help of 10 animators and 3 character designers. With its hauntingly kaleidoscopic animations of each artist, who lick neon blood off knives and trip on magic mushrooms, the video is nothing short of breathtaking. Churning along to a hypnotic, moombah-inspired beat courtesy of Skrillex, the video also serves as a bewitchingly captivating accessory to the lyrical content of the song, which waxes poetic about the need to kill one’s ego in ...

Grammy Award-nominated house music duo CamelPhat have released the official music video for their collaboration with Foals‘ Yannis Philippakis, who directed the spellbinding short along with Kit Monteith. The video serves as a psychedlic journey through the haunting single, which marries the hypnotic vocal stylings of Yannis with the kinetic house flavors of Camelphat. Oscillating between retro, VHS-style footage of Yannis and prismatic pirouettes straight out of the lens of a kaleidoscope, it takes inspiration from its title to deliver a stellar directorial debut for the Foals frontman. “We’ve been longtime fans of Foals after seeing them live a number of times over the years, and they have always been on our list to collaborate with,” Camelphat ...

Burger Records Employees, Artists Accused of Rampant Sexual Misconduct
Longtime indie label Burger Records has been accused of “curating” a breeding ground for predatory behavior and sexual misconduct. Additionally, sexual assault allegations have been made specifically against Burger Records signees and their associates, including members of The Growlers, The Frights, The Buttertones, SWMRS, and Cosmonauts, among others. Many of the allegations were complied on an Instagram page called Lured_By_Burger_Records, which was launched in hopes of “amplifying voices and supporting those who were victims of sexual predation by predators involved with Burger Records.” Numerous posts recount instances in which young, underage girls were invited into the back room of Burger Records’ physical store in Fullerton, California, only to be to preyed upon by older m...

An Oral History of The Freshman: Matthew Broderick, Andrew Bergman, and Michael Lobell Revisit the 1990 Comedy
On July 20th, 1990, The Freshman hit theaters with all the right pieces. It had solid pitch, one of Hollywood’s sharpest scribes in writer/director Andrew Bergman, and ’80s icon and heartthrob Matthew Broderick. To top it all off, the mob comedy managed to even wrangle the Don himself Marlon Brando, who had all but retired by that point. It wasn’t a summer blockbuster, but it was a success for TriStar. Critics loved it, audiences enjoyed it, and the box office returns managed to nearly double the budget. In the years since, however, it has garnered a cult following, and many view it as one of the last great works of Brando’s legendary (and oft-puzzling) career. To commemorate the film’s 30th anniversary, we recently spoke with writer/director Andrew Bergman, producer Michael Lobell, and st...
