Another one-take wonder, this time from OK Go. The song and the video are a play on perspective, and this one is so full of brilliant trickery that you'll want to watch it once, twice, and then three times for good measure.

This glorious piece by British singer FKA Twigs features the artist herself as some kind of gold-covered goddess, flanked by a coterie of shining banshee dancers. It's amazing, and completely transfixing.

A tribute to '90s music, in all of its neon glory. This video from New Zealand-born Kimbra is one of the wildest, most surreal videos to be released this year. You're going to want to wear your sunglasses.
