Porter Robinson - Dullscythe
That damned apple ad music video with the dancer and the stretchy room.
Highly Suspect - Lydia

Marina Kazankova (the freediver) filmed the entire thing in one take, no cuts or edits...bonkers.
Klangkarussell - All Eyes On You - this is probably my favourite music video ever. I'm a sucker for one-takes, and the fact that this one is nine minutes long makes it so impressive on a technical level. But also, the video really feels like an experience. I feel like there are a lot of different ways the characters and situation, and what they represent, can be interpreted; it feels like everyone reads into the video in their own way (and I'm totally down to discuss anyone else's interpretations once they've watched it). Plus the atmosphere of the video really enhances that of the song - I like the song well enough, but combined with the video I find it so hypnotizing and engrossing. (Plus, it doesn't feel cheap by any means but you can see it was made on a shoestring budget, so it gets extra points for that as far as I'm concerned.)
All India Radio - Rippled - long-exposure light stop-motion is so damn cool. It's such a pretty video, and I love how authentic it feels - it obviously took a lot of time, energy and talent to make (over 6 months according to the description) but it has so much personality to it, and you can obviously see the people in the background moving the lights around which makes it feel far less "clinical".
Delta Heavy - Get By - musically, it's a slightly above-average 2012 dubstep track, but the video is so fun (and terrifying, I suppose...). Again, I love the stop motion, but it's also just really fun on a conceptual level.
Anyway, all of these are a decade old, so I guess maybe you're right about modern music videos. I can't say I watch many music videos, though, so there are probably some good ones I miss!
Rise Against - Help Is On The Way
Being from Louisiana this has always been such a chilling song.
This one may not be too popular but having been in a similar situation, this hit home hard.
Big Data and Joywave - Dangerous (it's pretty NSFW btw.).
I still remember how i heard that tune for the first time and how surprised i was in which direction the music video went.
Rammstein - Deutschland
Björk have made some that are absolutely spectacular, she has a way of making you feel what she feels with her voice and the visual impressions, she pulls you into her world. She's one of those artists that are completely unique and deeply talented.
Chevelle All Right I Get It
Adrenaline by Kontra K The video definitely does not show the artist himself surfing a Berlin S-Bahn in broad daylight.
Windowlicker.
In college Xzibit's What U See is What U Get blew my mind due to its faked one shot style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gddQhQnwZIY.
A lot of people have mentioned OkGo already, so I'm going to mention New Lands by Justice's MV is a pretty fun one
Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust

Love this video so much.
Edit: Seizure warning due to flashing lights
The Holidays - Voices Drifting
I can't hold my breath for nearly that long

Nigel Stanford has some amazing videoclips. I love Robots vs. Music the most (especially since the tune and the whole Automatica album is amazing), but Science vs. Music is also great.
And he also did a few making of videos. While I'm sure most of the final result is CGI anyway, it's still a nice touch.
Steven Wilson's Drive Home
Besides being a masterpiece, it also has a heart wrenching video clip that's very artistic
Anything by The Correspondents:
All done with practical effects and camera trickery. The making of videos are amazing: first second.
Also shoutout to the parody song Climate Change Denier.
death grips and crumb have some great music videos
i also think always by blink 182 is amazing, love the idea and exectution
Okay, this should be one of the more popular songs amongst indie producers:

I'm more into music tracks rather than in 'music videos', though.
I always admired the concept for the video for Stone Sour’s “Through Glass.”
Death Grips - Beware because no man can run as fast in the desert as MC Ride can.
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
When this first came out it was stunning to watch. Single shot. Had to pay off gangs to enable them to film it successfully. Allegedly.
