Music Video Spotlight: American Football – No Feeling feat. Brendan Yates

Directed by Cady Buche and Travis Barron.

American Football is Mike Kinsella, Nate Kinsella, Steve Holmes and Steve Lamos.

“No Feeling” is from the album LP4.

Lyrics:
There’s nothing new to say or do
There’s nothing new to crave
Tell the doctors I’m done
The kids, “Adieu”
And Mother, “Désolé”
One last goodbye and one last kiss
One last dance with the Goddess Nyx

No feeling
No pain
No one to blame
Forever awaits
It’s just an eternal blank page

Some bones stand on their own
Some bones are carried
Mine are either, neither, or both –
They just ache to be buried

Music Video Spotlight: K Sensei – Le Monde (The World) feat. Malika Whitaker

Synopsis: Atlas — portrayed by K Sensei — literally carries the world on his back. Frozen like a marble statue, he is crushed by his burden until he begins to crack.

A Star, Malika, then moves through space: a radiant, free, and ever-moving figure, she embodies hope, guidance, and the possibility of transformation.

A symbol of light, renewal, and freedom, she gathers Atlas’s fragments back together, heals his fractures, and helps him rise — until wings emerge on his back: Atlas is no longer only a bearer, but becomes one who can ascend.

“Le monde” is from the EP De cendres et de larmes (From Ashes and Tears) by K Sensei.

Directed by Malika Whitaker.

Story by K Sensei.
