MUSIC VIDEOS THIS WEEK
18.01.2012We’ve had a bit of a break from our usual allotment of music videos, but fear not, your weekly fix of visual delights has returned (we’re looking at you Lana Del Rey and your cathedral of tigers). Here are some new bunch of clips for you to view from Laura Marling, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Austra, Scissor Sisters and Azaelia Banks, San Cisco and Children Collide. Oh yeah, and then there's Jimmy Barnes unpredictably successful Cuban dance hit Sun In Cuba. We can't really describe the horror, just watch it.
