Santigold's L.E.S. Artistes


Santigold - "L.E.S. Artistes" from Downtown Music on Vimeo.

This week's music video is a personal favorite for its creativity.  The first time viewed it,  I was initially impressed by the chic outfits worn by the girls flanking Santigold.  As I continued watching, I was captivated by the different violent scenes portrayed and how food ribbon were used as special effects instead of your typical blood 'n guts...how cool! I think my favorite part of the video would have to be the gentleman leaking brightly colored gum balls into the street, but the lady with the strawberries is a close second!

  1. hey lady, thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm glad you liked those collages! I just made them the old fashioned way..! By cutting up my toast catalogues and re-arranging the pictures. Then I scanned them in!

    Loving your blog! xxxxx

  2. This video was actually inspired by a movie from the 1970s called "The Holy Mountain." It's a freaky, weird, and very disturbing movie--saw it once when it was projected on the wall behind the band at a random loft concert. The Santogold video is much better!
