So impressed with team behind Children Collide’s new video for ‘Loveless’. The clip was produced by Michael Cody, shot by Germain McMicking of Flood Projects and directed by lauded Animal Kingdom director David Michôd.

For a one shot take involving make up, manhandling and a hairdresser who’s willing to excoriate four layers of skin along with six months of follicle commitment, Johnny McKay’s stoic performance deserves some serious applause.

Children Collide hit the road in August for their Loveless tour, see below the jump for full dates.

Love Migrate – ‘Little Kid’

Name changes. Risky stuff. Seems to be working for DZ Deathrays though (formerly DZ) who are currently having a grand old time in the UK.

Goodnight Owl are also jumping in on the switch. The Melbourne band have added new members to the bill and are changing their name to Love Migrate.

Here’s the first listen on the interwebs of their new track ‘Little Kid’. Really digging this buoyant number which in my mind, is lot more substantial than their older stuff. They’ve swapped folktronica for staunch hooks that have a little more ‘oomph’. And it’s sounding decent.

The band will be relaunching as Love Migrate on July 2nd at the Grace Darling. It’s a bit like a funeral, but a welcome one of sorts.

Kins – ‘Mockasins’

Melbourne’s Kins are finally releasing their mini LP Dancing Back and Forth in Whipped Cream on May 20th. The LP was recorded in Kins’ home studio late 2010 and mastered by Matt Voigt (Cat Power, Augie March, Big Scary) earlier this year.

The band have also just been announced on the bill for newcomer Castle Festival alongside a list of other local acts.

These guys put on a pretty swell live show, although I’m still yet to witness some smooth choreography and whipped dairy goods as the LP title suggests. Three shots at redemption below.

Witnessing the bastard child of our favourite sampling studs + heavily bearded ‘s8r boi’ graduate to youtube. Joy, joy, down in my heart.
