Jeremy Messersmith, “666”

A scholarly-looking Jeremy Messersmith passes on some self-help knowledge in his new orchestral-Halloween-dance single “666” — the number of the beast. Practice mindfulness, breathing, and shaking it to the left and the right. The black-and-white video was shot in one take outside an old, abandoned, Western-styled commercial complex complete with wooden fences and boarded windows. The only thing the video might be missing is rolling tumbleweed. The video’s highlight is Messersmith’s oddball dance breakdown just before the song’s suggestive final verse: “Put on some of that devil music / dance it out” … Catch this beloved established songwriter live at Fitzgerald Theater for “All Hallow’s Eve” in St Paul on October 29.

Miloe, “rewind”

The hip wardrobe, exquisite color schemes, and subtle special effects are just a few of the elements that make for a quality music video accompaniment to local superstar Miloe’s chill-wave single “rewind.” At times, the singer looks like an apocalyptic video-game character (what’s that earpiece?) isolated in the desert and outer space with few of his closest confidants, including Oklahoma soul/R&B singer PawPaw Rod. The song’s feel-good vibe is juxtaposed with a tough subject — taking space or moving on from a relationship that at one time was quite significant and intertwined. The song is one of six tracks on Miloe’s new EP, gaps, celebrated with a release show Fine Line with special guest Ricki Monique and RIOTGRRRLDARKO on October 27.

Ber, “Boys Who Kiss You In Their Car”

Beanie-wearing, enterprising rocker boys who try to pull fast ones on bright women got another thing coming. Minneapolis pop-rock singer Ber gripes about familiar stereotypes in her latest single “Boys Who Kiss You In Their Car.” The best phrase to capture her mood and facial expressions? Over it. These dudes are everywhere and too easy to predict. The music video playfully pokes fun at them as they waltz on screen and Ber quickly swipes left — like real-life Tinder. Ber recently finished a major tour with stops in Denver, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, London, and more. She was accompanied by fellow rising Minnesota popstar Landon Conrath.

Colin Bracewell, “Making Me Crazy”

Just this week Colin Bracewell’s pop-rock single “Making Me Crazy” hit number one on The Current’s Chart Show, edging out UK rockers Arctic Monkeys’ “There'd Better Be A Mirrorball.” Bracewell’s song is highly relatable for anyone who’s experienced the insanity of romance. The feelings of vulnerability, overthinking, and lack of self-restraint can further induce feelings of loneliness and stupidity; but this charming young songwriter might make folks feel less alone. There’s innocence in love, and the music video embraces it with a bit of light-heartedness and acceptance. 

Papa Mbye, “Pixel”

Papa Mybe’s music is difficult to categorize but it shapeshifts somewhere between hard rock, electro-indie, and hip-hop. The music video for his new single “Pixel” appropriately depicts these flashes of experimental soundscapes into artful visual distortions of the band performing inside a tall, blackened facility come alive by a mixture of sharp studio lighting. Each visual clip lasts mere split seconds long, adding to the song’s intensity and Papa Mbye’s infectious energy. He headlines First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry with fellow Minneapolis musicians Mike Kota and RIOTGRRRLDARKO on Friday, October 21. He will also be featured on an upcoming in-studio session with Carbon Sound, The Current’s new Urban Alternative Stream.
