Artist:
Directed by Olivier Groulx from the album, Absence.The songs on the album were not necessarily new to the band when added to the final compilation.

Regina Spektor eyeing Eet
From the album, Far. A mystery person has been posing as Regina on twitter. Her record label thought it was her and the fake account even made it onto the London Times "top twitters" list. She also doesn't have a Facebook account. The video and the song are both an interesting take on the mimicking everyone does when they forget the lyrics to a song. One word, in this case "eet," can fill an en...

Paul Dempsey eyeing Out The Airlock
Directed by Bart Borghesi from the album, Everything Is True.Paul Dempsey is lead singer for the Australian band Something For Kate. Everything Is True is his first album as a solo artist. Sometimes the video had a "Godzilla" feel to it with Paul towering over the city but in the end the final product was relaxing.
