Andy Shauf

There are two very important aspects to this post and I'm going to do my best to impress both of them upon you with the intensity and fascination that they've impressed upon me.

• Andy Shauf "The Magician" video - directed by Winston Hacking, the video is an unbelievable execution of still-life collage and video. It's fun, it's weird and the aesthetic somehow matches the song perfectly. There's more from Winston Hacking on his site that I highly recommend you indulge in.
• Andy Shauf - The Party - the album from which "The Magician" is taken is excellent from start to finish. It is incredibly melancholy and borderline tear jerking but there's an undeniable pleasantness and, dare I say, hopeful vibe to it.

Maybe both are old news to you - 2016 kinda stuff - but they only recently came into my world and it'd be a damn shame if you missed out on them.

Bonus, this Chad van Gaalen directed video for Quite Like You is excellent.
