Support new music: choose from our favourite new albums this month.

On our weekly rounds of the internet and its many, many videos, we stumbled across this rather small, rather subtle work of genius and though we thought it to be a little too reserved for a Video Of The Week, we just couldn't help it.

Considering the news of Hope Sandoval (previously of Mazzy Star) creating a new record (check that news HERE) with her other music project Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions, we thought it even more apt that we feature her at possibly one of her highest points to date.

Though the video itself comes from MTV and the editing can be considered a little generic, it doesn't even really matter as Hope herself is more than ample entertainment to watch and get lost in.

With an awkward, continuous pose and constantly shut eyes, she stands stock-still, swathed in a blue light as gentle, poignant music strikes to life behind her. Five and a half minutes later and we promise you, you'll be wondering where your mind just went.

Check the video out below and share your thoughts with us by commenting at the bottom of the page.
