Justin Love carries feelings of loneliness and suspicion into the beautifully shot clip for "No Friends."

Along the way, they catch drummer Scruffy playing drifter on the roadside and comically leave him smelling their exhaust.

Mara Whitehead's striking visual interpretation of "Canyon Town" serves as a captivating complement to the song's unpretentious grandeur.

The music video for "World of Water" showcases that which so endears us to Shaheed and DJ Supreme: their heart for and commitment to their community. In the video, our dynamic duo roll up to Birmingham-Southern College's Southern Environmental Center and the McWane Science Center with a rowdy crew of elementary schoolers, ready to soak in some science.

The "Outsyder" music video gives us a view inside the life of Laforren. In the clip, we saunter through Stockton, taking in the lights, and find Laforren in the town square at midnight…

Miguel Orjuela's elegant clip for "Save Me" by Stringz EMB underscores and intensifies the song's themes.
