Music videos are artistic extensions of the songs themselves, with many visual accompaniments becoming just as, if not more iconic than the song it was created for. As usual, some of our favourite songs of the week also had some of our favourite videos, with this week's list including Bleachers, CHAI, Crumb & Melody's Echo Chamber, Faye Webster, Gut Health, Jebediah; MIKE, Wiki & The Alchemist; Sleaford Mods, The Bures Band and Troye Sivan.

Bleachers - Modern Girl

Modern pop maestro Jack Anotoff’s Bleachers return with new music after a few years in the form of the feelgood 80s inspired flavours of ‘Modern Girl’ alongside a music video that sees the band jamming out in a checkerboard floored studio. Bleachers’ new single Modern Girl it out  now via Dirty Hit.

CHAI - GAME

Our favourite Japanese indie pop four-piece drop one last irresistible single from their new album with a music video that sees the band undertake the role of delivery people, with a throwback 80s sheen to the visuals. CHAI’s new album CHAI is out now via Sub Pop.

Crumb & Melody's Echo Chamber - Le Temple Volant

This week’s delightfully unexpected collab comes courtesy of NYC indie rockers Crumb and longtime psych-pop fave MEC, with the result a dreamy, floating slice of hip-hop influenced goodness and a video that continues this week’s throwback theme, with VHS home movie vibes abounding. Crumb & Melody's Echo Chamber’s new single Le Temple Volant is out now via Crumb Records.

Faye Webster - Lifetime

Having recently been announced for next year’s Laneway festival, indie/alt-folk singer-songwriter’s sultry new single features a clever & creative music video that combines collages with long shots as Webster grapples with the ageing process.

Gut Health - Uh oh

The video for Melbourne/Naarm dancey post-punks new single lives up to the song’s name, with vocalist Athina Uh oh finding herself in a hostage type situation. Gut Health’s new EP Singles ‘23 is out November 24 via Marthouse Records.
