How do you make murder come across as cute and lovey-dovey? Summer Camp will show you in their new video for the catchy synth-heavy single "Always." Director Oliver Evans puts Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey into the roles of fugitive murderers, who play mini-golf and ride the carousel while their victim is asphyxiating in a van. The camcorder-filmed video is somehow perfectly fitting for the Britpop duo's fantastic single. Watch it above.

[Watch] The Mars Volta - "The Malkin Jewel" (Official Video)
When you make a music video these days people go down one of a few routes. Shock and awe, comical, going down the animated road also seems a popular choice as of late, but when a band such as The Mars Volta make not just a video, but a 15-minute monster for "The Malkin Jewel" they keep it elegantly simple. The video focuses on the band performing live which in itself is a spectacle large enough to grasp your attention for the full 15 minute. Kudos to them for doing it this way and being such a great performing band. (via SPIN.com).
