A teaser of the "Instant Crush" music video was premiered on BFM TV, a TV channel from France. |

The video teaser looks promising. This is an overall good choice for fourth single. It's one of my favorites on the album, wish they were pushing this more in the States.  |

Video seems to suffice well enough. This is my favorite song on the album (read: only one I still listen to frequently) and in my top 10 overall favorite songs of 2013.

It's an interesting video. Not the imagery I had in my head for the song per se, but it's nice enough and I enjoyed watching it.
Hopefully mtvU and a few other US video outlets will pick it up (as if it matters, lol) regardless of whether or not this gets the push to Alternative radio stateside.

They make a video to my least favorite song on the album. Smh.

They make a video to my least favorite song on the album. Smh. Give it another chance. I didn't like it the first time either, but by the third or fourth listen it became a highlight, and probably a week in (after the leak) it became my favorite on the album. The melody is really beautiful. It sounds like they cleaned up his vocal for the single mix so the lyrics are easier to decipher. As for the video, I like it. I didn't really envision one, to be honest, but I did think it would be perfect for a winter release. I just wish they had sent "Doin' It Right" to the right formats. Maybe they'll give it another go if this one becomes some kind of hit. |

Maybe they'll give it another go if this one becomes some kind of hit. That was the problem I had w/the song initially; hearing the lyrics through the effects. I suppose giving it another go round couldn't hurt. I can see the label pushing 'Doin' It Right' overseas. They maybe done as far as releasing something in the states from here. They're not too far from platinum. I just want them to release the remix album I heard about when they dropped this current one. |

It may be short and sweet but I love this reworking of the song. Nicolas Jaar can do no wrong.
