They are my exact sentiments for both songs, except I'm not too familiar with JEW songs. There are so many bands out there I can't keep track of any of them. If I find the time I'll check out some JEW songs. Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I thought the first song was posh, but not an insipid pop song. I like the outro to Minature Alas, the synthesizer had just the right sound with the haunting vibrato - I thought.

For the next two songs: there is a certain je ne sais quoi about live performances I really enjoy. The sound quality for the second video really good and that adds an extra something to it too.
