London Grammar ‘Wasting My Young Years’ by Bison

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.

Petit Noir ‘Noirse’ by Tim & Joe

Sirsy ‘Lionheart’ by Anton Octavian

Anton Octavian has impressively channelled his felt-tip style fury into this colourful stop-motion montage for Sirsy’s Lionheart.

One-man production team Anton says: “I think that was [...]

CSS ‘Hangover’ by Matt Dilmore & Toni Basil

In a sparse office building, a group of unprepossessing office workers become mesmerized by the sounds of CSS playing Hangover on the TV, and erupt into an impromptu dance – a dance as it happens, choreographed by one of the great names of the golden age of music video… Matt Dilmore had been waiting for [...]

Editors ‘A Ton of Love’ by Mark Thomas

Tom Smith’s band Editors return for a fourth record following a three year hiatus and the loss of a founding member. Fortunately, where there was one there are now two, ensuring that Editors still have the performance power to blast through Mark Thomas’s high-contrast, smoke-projected and water-affected promo for A Ton Of Love – all [...]

Tony Mortimer ‘Shake It Down’ by Antoine Dixon-Bellot

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. Antoine places Mr Mortimer in a TV studio setting – think 70s show Supersonic – complete with band, dancers, over-zealous fans and the producer [...]

Marie Fisker ‘On The Beach’ by Martin Garde

John Legend ft Rick Ross ‘Who Do We Think We Are’ by Paul Gore

Paul Gore, with some additional creative swagger from Lana Del Rey director Yoann Lemoine, throws a Great Gatsby-style party for John Legend and Rick Ross in his promo for Who Do We Think We Are. Powered by some near-naked beauties and oozing opulance and glamour, Mr Gore’s lavish black tie event perfectly compliments the smooth [...]

Burns ‘Limitless’ by Jonny Kight

Jonny Kight brings an unusual touch to his promo for Burns’ pounding club tune Limitless – unusual in that the club is a beautiful derelict church and the clubbers a bewigged king and his antique entourage. Beautifully shot through layers of dust by DP Ciro Candia, the King (played by stage actor Richard Franklin) and [...]
