Luke Pretty, better known as Tennyson, has delivered a brand new single titled “Collapse”. The second single of his forthcoming Telescope EP via Counter Records, it’s a subtly sweet indie-pop exposé that finds staggering beauty in the unassuming mundane. It also marks another glimpse at Tennyson’s collaboration with visual artist Waneella whose artwork for “Collapse” builds upon the dreaminess of lead single “Telescope” with technology giving way to nature’s organic course.

Indie rock band HUNNY have shared a music video for “Saturday Night” (feat. Bleached) off their debut full-length album Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. (July 19). “Rather than putting together the same old performance video of a band playing in a room, we decided to play with visual perspective by building our own room to play in,” explains guitarist Jake Goldstein. “After some light trigonometry and heavy carpentry we were left with a magic room that creates exaggerated changes in size of the people within it. We hope it captures the mind bending elation of being in on a Saturday Night.”
Gryffin Shares Video For “Body Back” Ft. Maia Wright
In the video for “Body Back,” Gryffin offers an up-close-and-personal look at the Gravity II Tour — a much-buzzed-about headlining run now bringing his explosive live show to venues across the country.

So you could march
To the sound of your own drum.”
YOUNG BOMBS SHARE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BETTER DAY” FEATURING ALOE BLACC
The clip reflects the pair’s hilarious sense of humor and captures the tune’s bright and bold buoyancy. Nodding to the spirit of seventies and eighties sun-and-fun film and television, the grainy visual pits Young Bombs a.k.a. Martin and Tristan against each other as they vie for the affection of the same woman. After spotting her on the beach, they compete to attract her attention before eventually running each other over in cars, bludgeoning one another with all manner of household objects, and low key spying on their respective dates from a distance. Breaking up the madness, Aloe Blacc even makes a cameo by way of striking a pose on a poster.
