This is a stunning video for new Ministry act London Grammar’s lovely Wasting My Young Years by Bison that executes an amazing visual trick.

Tom Smith’s band Editors return for a fourth record following a three year hiatus and the loss of a founding member.

Former East 17 frontman Tony Moritmer marks his debut as a solo artist with the retro flavour of Shake It Down and turns to director Antoine Dixon-Bellot for the tongue-in-cheek promo.
