From the moment Guy Garvey starts with the line “I’ve been working on a cocktail called Grounds For Divorce” you sense there’s going to be trouble…
So with a brooding neo-Western atmosphere of incipient violence in the vein of the awesome yet slightly confusing No Country For Old Men (with an additional hint of Chas & [...]

The Guillemots’ MC Lord MAgRAo (definitely his real name) approached Up The Resolution – that’s Dom Thompson-Talbot, Merlin Nation and Griff – to co-direct the video for the first single for their new album Red, and the result is this ravishing spectacle.
UTR’s work has developed through pure animation to post-heavy work to pure live [...]

Straight from Chicago, and partly shot in tunnels once belonging to Al Capone (so lord knows what went on down there) as well as the famous Chi nightclub Metro, it’s some hip-hop that’s so old-skool it makes you go all fuzzy inside.
Kid Sis and the wonderfully-named Flosstradamus are Chicago natives. So is Joey [...]

This recent video for Morcheeba is a weird and wonderful thing: the naughty animal gang are confronted by the creepy ghost crew at the graveyard on [...]

The highly inventive new Futureheads video has echoes of an imperishable classic. Or perhaps two.
Director James Appleton, who’s quite new to directing videos but fairly experienced making corporate films, has made the production process the idea behind the video itself – with particular emphasis on the storyboarding, in which the real band get [...]

Two guys in pristine white suits going head-to-head in a muddy field.

He has also applied his live performance directing nous to videos – most notably [...]
