Katie Burdon directs a contemplative promo for Bonnie Kemplay.&nbsp;Contained in the four walls of her bedroom, we see the artist contemplate life and past relationships, as she practices self-care and waters her houseplant.&nbsp;Watching memories back on an old TV, the anachronistic vibes perfectly suit the grungey alt-pop sound, and the climactic, neon-tinged ending adds an abstract vibe to the concept.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Ethan &amp; Tom direct a fresh take on 90's nostalgia in their promo for tendai.&nbsp;Viewers of a certain vintage will remember the excitement and anticipation that came with the TV rolling into the classroom on a school day. Regardless of what was being played on-screen, the whole proceeding was an event, and the director duo have used this as their central concept in the video for Pressure.&nbsp;Shot in a white cyc studio, the understated action happens around this TV, which loops Ceefax-style graphics, revealing lyrics and thematical callbacks to the track.&nbsp;It has the multiformat, inventive trademark that the directors are known for, and achieves an awful lot on limited resources.&nbsp;

Henry Scholfield directs a hypnotic, VFX-heavy extravaganza for Ed Sheeran featuring Lil Baby.&nbsp;The video for 2step shows Sheeran walking down an empty street in Kyiv, as the surrounding characters and environment&nbsp;start to vanish into thin air. This eventually builds&nbsp;to a sensational dance set-piece, and a mind-bending trip through warped cityscapes and slick choreography - which Sheeran enthusiastically dives into himself&nbsp;too, together with co-star Lil Baby.&nbsp;The project&nbsp;opens with a title card with a message from Ed Sheeran explaining that the video was shot in Kyiv before the Russian invasion&nbsp;of Ukraine two months ago, and that profits from the video streaming are going directly to DEC's Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.&nbsp;

Ethan + Tom direct an introspective promo for up and coming London-based artist tendai.&nbsp;The video builds upon the director duo's trademark eclectic style, mashing together live action footage with stock imagery and vintage&nbsp;home video cutaways.&nbsp;The use of projection and bold colour in the cinematography elevates the visual, which is contained in its location but unrestrained in its aesthetic.&nbsp;

Remi Laudat directs a visual extravaganza for Amaarae, with a little help from&nbsp;Kali Uchis and Moliy.The video for&nbsp;Sad Girlz Luv Money is a tongue-in-cheek celebration of women in control, inspired by&nbsp;Nineties pop videos.Inside the Sad Girlz Inc tower, the scammers and hustlers are out there living their best lives, making their mullah, swimming in cash, and making any unwelcome male visitor pay for their sins.With a hyperstylised neon aesthetic, the video blends retro-futurism with contemporary digital flair, and the assured performances of Amaarae, Kali Uchis and Moliy - captured in shoots in London,&nbsp;Los Angeles and New York - take the concept to the next level.[imgtoken data:1]

Ethan + Tom direct a&nbsp;Tarkovsky-inspired video for singer-songwriter Ethan P. Flynn - a bold one-take of Flynn's performance in front of a raging inferno.&nbsp;Shot in&nbsp;Kazakhstan, the video sees the artist at first traversing a spectacular&nbsp;landscape: a lake, backdropped by mountainous plains and a dreamy red sky. Flynn is walking towards a light, which is revealed as a small wooden house, engulfed in flames.&nbsp;The video is an external representation of the inner turmoil of the lyrics of the song Father Of Nine, and as Flynn performs in front of the burning house, the camera smoothly drifts wider and then closer, to capture the intensity of the experience. And it's such a powerful&nbsp;image.[imgtoken data:1]

BWTV directs an evocative promo for Bonobo's Shadows, featuring Jordan Rakei, focusing on abstract imagery and graphics.&nbsp;Exploring the power of memory and everyday experience through patterns, shadow and light, the video transcends a traditional structure, instead focusing on repetitive sequences and brief, fleeting moments in time.[imgtoken data:1]"Shadows are reflections of ourselves, our movements, whims, wants and urges - like memories happening in the present; like scars that leave no mark," comment Liam Achaibou and Ryan Vernava - aka BWTV. "They are a creeping measure of passing moments: alive, immediate and fleeting. They stretch and bend to the world around them and they thicken and fade as the days roll on."We wanted to make a video that meditates on these ideas; using found captured and created material to investigate the patterns and visual metaphors that emerge as we experimented with the footage."Using the emotional language of the shadow we began to build sequences and patterns reminiscent of how one might compose a multitrack piece of music. Layers, lots of layers..." &nbsp;

For their previously unreleased song Follow Me Around, Radiohead have a wonderful new video by directing&nbsp;duo Us -&nbsp;Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor - starring Guy Pearce. He plays the hapless victim of a particularly tenacious insect - and we, the viewer,&nbsp;are that pesky bug.&nbsp;A simple idea is transformed by Barrett and Taylor's brilliant employment of up-to-the-minute tech. And indeed, minute tech: the entire video is shot on a&nbsp;tiny drone&nbsp;that speeds through London streets, and through tiny spaces, and finds its way to Pearce's East London home - where the relentless attack&nbsp;by the bug begins. Everything we see comes from insect-POV, as we witness Pearce's increasing desperation and panic.[imgtoken data:1]Us were inspired to look through the mini-critter's eyes, having spent a summer combatting mosquitos. They were also inspired by&nbsp;footage of tiny drones that can go through anywhere at speed.&nbsp;With the brilliant casting of Pearce, Barrett and Taylor have also elevated the concept further, adding a level of ambiguity&nbsp;where surveillance, paranoia and the humble mosquito meet.&nbsp;The formatting of the camera was made to emulate both the period of the song, with its lo-fi 420p resolution, and also the idea of surveillance cameras, as well as the erratic and somewhat flailing camp of vision one imagines a mosquito’s to be. Married with Guy Pearce’s outstanding acting, the sparse visuals are meant to make the viewer feel as uncomfortable as the character on the screen.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]And why is Pearce being targetted?&nbsp;We really can only guess, as the one thing we cannot see is the attacker itself - is this actually an insect, or perhaps another form of Bug...It is of course perfect for the lovely song Follow Me Around, a live favourite which dates back to the era of OK Computer,&nbsp;that Radiohead are only now releasing, on the new Kid A/Amnesiac sessions project. This one goes direct to the pantheon of great Radiohead videos.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jordan Hemingway directs a mesmerising visual film for Wolf Alice's new album Blue Weekend.A night out in London - we’ve all had one of those. Trying to work through heartbreak and friendships made and lost, meeting characters good and bad, funny and tragic. A fight here, an embrace there. Singing in toilets, bidding farewell to a lover at a bus stop, before riding home with your mates singing at the top of your voice, until you’re alone again, but not lonely.[imgtoken data:1]You feel love, wrapped in the memories of the mad night that lays behind.Jordan Hemingway’s rendering of such a night, of course, takes twists and turns and exaggerates, making&nbsp;every mundane moment into something magically grotesque. Characters unhinged, colours bursting. Chaos reigns supreme as Wolf Alice’s visual album unfolds, with the music serving as a guide to the imagery, the emotional clock that ticks away to the early hours of the morning.[imgtoken data:2]The project is an absolute tour de force, interweaving Hemingway's hallucinatory&nbsp;vision and a series of breathtaking performances, delivered in grungy locations across the city.&nbsp;Unexpected, daring and vibrant, the abstract imagery and colour-drenched set pieces are elevated by DoP&nbsp;Molly Manning Walker's dazzling cinematography, and a true marriage of craft from every member of the production team.&nbsp;Watch the trailer for the film above, and of course, catch several of the individual videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/WolfAliceMusic/featured">Wolf Alice's YouTube channel.&nbsp;</a>[imgtoken data:3]
