big bang theory) as a sleuth of excellent new video singles flows non-stop into 
its own tributary, along with the best 2022 indie albums; audio singles, and special

#####  Wet Leg – “Angelica” 5

It’s hard not to like Wet Leg. There is something about their dedication to indie
rock and to not taking themselves too seriously which has caught on in the ‘wider-
realm’ (if you will). This recent video for “Angelica” has racked up more than a
half million views on this official YouTube version alone in just two weeks. And
that’s because it’s dope. The band’s self-titled album is set to drop April 8th 
on Domino Records.

Last month **Philadelphia** indie rock band **Sadurn** announced their debut album,
_Radiator_, set to drop in May via Run For Cover.

The new band, led by **Genevieve DeGroot**, shared a lead single, “Snake,” followed
up with this chill wavy track, “Golden Arm.”

DeGroot says about the song and the accompanying video:

“I wrote this song at the same time as ‘snake’ while doing a work exchange on a 
homestead in North Carolina. It kind of all came out at once, which feels like this
lucky occasion when you’re writing songs. I didn’t think much of it in its initial
form, it felt like more of a poem than a story.”

“But playing it with the band for the first time, and then later adding the synth
and the slide guitar and coming up with the harmonies when we made the recordings,
all those layers really brought it into a different special realm. The video came
about very serendipitously when Amelia and I were on a road trip back in the Fall
with another friend. We found this amazing camping spot and decided to shoot a video
on Amelia’s camcorder – the landscape there really felt like it fit with the song.

####  PUP – “Matilda” 4

Indie veterans **PUP** have unveiled a new music flick for the track “Matilda” off
of _The Unravelling of PupTheBand_.

Jeff Cubbison puts it best; calling the video “crafted in a more old school vein,
tracing the touching journey of a cool-ass guitar through multiple owners. It’s 
a heart-on-your-sleeve story from a kick-ass, heart-on-your-sleeve kinda band. The
director credit goes to Jefferson Dutton.

####  Magdalena Bay – “Dreamcatching”

The DIY video gods aren’t so DIY anymore which will allow **Magdalena Bay** to increase
their artistic approach like on the latest video clip, “Dreamcatching,” “a spectacular,
eye-popping animated odyssey that needs to be seen to be believed. If there’s any
justice, then this should have the VMA for Video of the Year in the bag,” writes_

####  Denzel Curry Ft. Slowthai – “Zatoichi”

**Denzel Curry** has dropped yet another music video single from the upcoming album
_Melt My Eyes See Your Future_ . The previously-dropped “Walkin” was a grandiose
experiment in the sub-sub-genre space western style, while “Zatoichi” stands as “
an ode to old-school samurai flicks.”

“The kaleidoscopic, psychedelic unraveling during Slowthai’s amen break-filled verse
is the stuff of cinematic magic,” writes Jeff Cubbison for _Impose_ magazine.
