Ten Dollar Cocktails [Official Video] by Lukas Creswell-Rost

Fancy Pants by Savanna
Kind of fascinated by the prismatic '60s-style vocals and the post-punk musical arrangement with that buzzsaw lead guitar grafted on. It's a weird pastiche that shouldn't work, but does.

The Haunting by Mara
Dig the icy guitar, but song plods where it could be explosive: at the 16-second mark, for example, where the rest of the band comes in. There's already a post-punk Interpol thing happening here, why not bust it open like they do on "Untitled" on the first album? More instrumental contrast and crisply defined parts would help.

Falling Curtains by DSP
Like the contrast between the rhythm and the buzzy melodic element, and the way the noise builds and recedes as the track progresses. Glitchy bleep-blorp elements add texture. Perfect length, in that the track doesn't overstay its welcome.

Close Call by DSP
Song is compelling and dynamic. Nice build at the start, and shifting sonic textures help keep things interesting as the tune progresses. Not sure I'd want a whole album of this, but the track is enjoyable.

Silver Tassels by Joe Turner & the Seven Levels
Serviceable, catchy pop song, though doesn't stand out much from plenty of other songs by plenty of other bands.

"New Prescription" by Joe Turner & the Seven Levels
Much catchier than the other "Girls Get Drugs for Free" tune -- love the robust lead guitar and the interplay throughout. Not much happens in the video, apart from the fairly literal prescription treatment.
State.com submitted media.
Clever video that aptly sums up the clutter, noise and, often, futility of social media. I don't tend to gravitate toward YouTube often, so not sure a cliffhanger ending (what happens next?) will do much to lure in users like me.
