Animated videos provide artists a unique way to tell a story and can often lend more emotion that your standard live-action is able to provide. There have been a number of amazing animated videos released recently; including Fleet Foxes' stunning "The Shrine/An Argument" and The Crookes' down-the-rabbit-hole-inspired "Bloodshot Days."
Over the past couple of weeks, a couple of new videos have been released, both fully animated. What's even more incredible about these two is that they manage to convey a high level of emotion while being done in primarily black and white.
The first is Death Cab for Cutie's "Underneath the Sycamore." It follows a private eye in the pursuit of a beautiful, but troubled, young woman. This one reminds me, stylistically, of The Crookes' video.

The second is from Danger Mouse's and Daniele Luppi's "Two Against One," which featured vocals from Jack White. This one shows a man in pursuit of an otherworldly entity that's slowly destroying his life.
