Song & Video: “Bitches”
Artist: Tove Lo
“Bitches” screen grab
Hilarious video for a great Tove Lo track, “Bitches.” Lo got all the women featured in the song to appear in the video: Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Elliphant and Icona Pop! Charli XCX is the only non-Swede in the video, which was directed by Lucia Aniello. Aniello’s partner, Paul W. Downs plays the male role undergoing sex counseling here. Brave and lucky man indeed. Feline fans will spot the sphynx cat from the single’s cover in the video. Don’t worry, neither Downs nor the cat were abused or injured.

Cool Cover: EVOKEN‘s Hypnagogia
Details: EVOKEN’s latest album, Hypnagogia, features a barn owl in a hazy setting. The New Jersey metal band chose World War I as the theme for the songs. One song’s titled “Schadenfreude,” and another is called “Ceremony Of Bleeding.” The title track takes its name from that also hazy moment right between being awake and falling asleep. Adam Burke, who created the cover’s design, is a Pacific Northwest-based artist. Go have a look at his work!
