This is the first ever Fink Five, an unashamedly opinionated digest of the five best, most interesting or most unusual music videos that I’ve happened to stumble across in the preceding month. Priority is generally given to work that is likely to have less exposure in mainstream media. But that doesn't mean you won't see a fantastic video from the big hitters here.

If you like what you see, check out the regular source links directly below for much more of the same kind of stuff.

Anxiety Attack - Jeffrey Lewis
directed: Jérôme Derathé


Emotive, microbudget video based on overlapping images and compressed time. It speaks of that beleaguered state of semi-conscious restlessness that plagues the insomniac and fits tightly with Lewis's 'stream-of-anxiety' lyrics.

Aranda - Ego Express
directed: Timo Schierhorn


Minimalism taken to the extreme. The relentlessness of the landscape, the relentlessness of the shot and what seems like a supernatural fit with the music and lyrics makes this a must watch.

Pony Part One- Vitalic
directed: Pleix


More minimalism from Pleix. Apparently, not a commissioned video this, but a pet project(!) Super slo-mo cameras and airborne canines - sometimes cute, sometimes savage. Simple, elegant and visually stunning.

Carrier Bag- Kid Carpet
directed: Bob Blunden


This is a tongue in cheek choreographed dance video, presumably made on a shoestring. Cheeky editing, a distinct visual signature and a great central performance give this an effortless, leftfield charm.

Nuke Proof Suit - Jehst
directed: The Beta Brothers


A series of totally hammy skits on daytime TV, consumer culture and the like. It's way over-the-top, full of daft energy and irreverent fun.
