But you knew that already. Still, in the super-heavy video for Moby’s new track, “The Day”, she gets wings and a sword with which to whup the ass of an offending demon, while the shiny pated musician remains calmly plastered to the ceiling tiles (just watch it, this will all make sense). And for all you TV ad creatives out there, Moby’s forthcoming studio album, Destroyed, is out on 16 May.

Fey indie poppers Low have, astonishingly, recently released their ninth album, C’mon. And as this video attests, they still don’t take themselves as seriously as their sombre balladry might suggest. Try to Sleep features none other than Glee’s John Stamos, doing his flashy-toothed all-American thing against a B-movie backdrop. We wish he’d look at the road more often, though. C’mon is out now on Sub Pop

Grimes makes weird, woozy pop that takes in dance, industrial and R & B, with at least a nod to the recent splurge in Kate Bush-influenced vocals. Real name Claire Boucher, this 22-year-old’s been all over the blogs for the last year, and has already released a couple of full-lengths. Vanessa, a slice of blissed-out electro, is released April 19th on Arbutus Records/Hippos in Tanks.

Now on album five, New York experimental dance outfit Gang Gang Dance are apparently still completely bonkers. Their video for “Mindkilla” manages to be both loads of fun and rather unsettling, a bit like the song itself. Stick around for the demented final 30 seconds, where a man made from pixels dances around with a hockey stick to the sound of a siren. The album, “Eye Contact” is out on May 9

“Not so much a tune as an all-star cast praising the pure majesty of the Beastie Boys who are finally returning with a new album Hot Sauce Committee II,” says Rob da Bank. “Check the video trailer and see how many stars you can spot whilst nodding your head vigorously! I’m so excited at the prospect of the new tunes I’m gonna rip a VW sign off a passing van today and hang it around my neck.”

Yes I’m biased as Kitty, Daisy and Lewis are signed to my record label but that’s because they’re incredible. ‘I’m So Sorry’ is a fantastic new song mixing up ska, soul and pop and a really clever little vid as the cherry on top. Just don’t call them rockabilly! www.myspace.com

If you ever find yourself stuck in California and short of wheels, you may want to think twice before accepting a lift from actor/musician Adam Goldberg. As this video for his band The Goldberg Sisters’ single “Shush” (out 28 March) demonstrates, he’s not one to let a seatbelt or red light get in the way of a good air guitar session. Their eponymous album follows on 11 April.

The Manchester band’s video for the fourth single from their excellent album Man Alive, out last year, is definitely more low-key than some previous efforts (see their eye-popping offering for “Photoshop Handsome”). But that’s not to say it doesn’t have some interesting ideas — weird face-mashing mutation and bacteria gone wild for starters — as well as revealing a darker, more introspective side of this ever-inventive band. www.everything-everything.co.uk
