No, that's not a new Astronautalis music video in the clip above. That's just a snippet of the rapper's oh-so-impressive performance at the Homegrown Music and Arts Festival back in May.

But the clip does feature the SMU grad born Andy Bothwell debuting to Dallas audiences his song "Contrails," which features guest vocals from Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara and some guest keys work from Nervous Curtains' Sean Kirkpatrick. To watch the actual, Vancouver-shot music video for the song, you'll have to head on over to Paste's web site, which we recommend you do since, well, like much of Astronautalis' new album, the John Congleton-produced This Is Our Science, the video is pretty awesome.

And it's hardly alone in the new-music-video-from-artists-with-local-ties front this week. After the jump, check out the video pairing for Burleson's Own Kelly Clarkson's pretty meh "Mr. Know It All" and the video accompaniment for Dallas-born Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond's latest single, as well as a pretty dark and dirty clip for a new song from the Far North Texas-sprung Memphis May Fire and the latest in a series of 12 music videos from Dallas' Own The O's.

Kelly Clarkson -- "Mr. Know It All"

My Brightest Diamond -- "Be Brave"

Memphis May Fire -- "The Sinner"

The O's -- "In Numbers We Survive"
