While I am looking forward to the music industry clusterfuck that is SXSW, I haven’t had the time to make a list all the bands I want to see. Honestly, other than unhinging my jaw and consuming as many breakfast tacos as humanly possible, I don’t have any festival plans as of yet.

Well, I have one.
See Santogold perform, no matter what it takes.

The Brooklyn singer has been all the rage as of late, and after watching this stunning video for “L.E.S Artistes” is easy to understand why. The gorgeous video, directed by Nima Nourizadeh, uses simple images and stark color placement to create powerful visuals that stay with you long after the song is finished.

Thanks to J.Shep for the hot tip.
