Lewis Cater directs an enchanting promo for&nbsp;LA-based artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Laufey.&nbsp;In the video for Bewitched, Laufey romanticises in an old movie theatre, becoming the star of her own love story. In beautifully lingering shots, we see the relationship between the artist and her love interest grow, interwoven with magical performance shots in the theatre.&nbsp;Set on the streets of West London, this is a tale full of feeling, bewilderment, longing and the thrill of falling for someone.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Adam Singodia brings the magic of the track to life with stunning lighting and dreamlike camerawork, allowing the ethereal nature of memory&nbsp;and first experiences to manifest on screen.&nbsp;

Director duo WAXXWORK explore the history of euphoria&nbsp;for London Grammar’s epic comeback collaboration with CamelPhat.With the clever use of classic paintings, and a judicious dose of AI, WAXXWORK - aka&nbsp;Timothy Casten and Vikesh Govind&nbsp;- draw a considerable parallel between religious experience, its expression in Art through the centuries, and the nirvana (drug-induced or otherwise) of&nbsp;the dancefloor.This features great work by DoP Adam Singodia and colourist Myles Bevan at Studio RM, and a hyper kinetic edit from Casten and Govind to hammer home the meaning behind the visuals.

Nothing But Thieves frontman&nbsp;Conor Mason preaches to an empty derelict room, backdropped by mysterious symbols and iconography, in Sam Bailey's enigmatic video for Tomorrow Is Closed.&nbsp;Mason interacts with empty space as if real people are there watching, and only after inhaling a mysterious gas do we see more characters appear, in a dark, otherworldly realm.[imgtoken data:1]With a post-apocalyptic vibe and a gritty, raw aesthetic, the video raises plenty of questions and answers only some of them. It leaves&nbsp;things open for a follow-up or simply presents an opportunity for viewers to impart their own ideas onto the concept.Mason embodies the main character perfectly, lending an emotional, erratic persona to the role, and the contrast of light and dark encapsulates the mysterious themes.

Nothing But Thieves 'Tomorrow Is Closed' by Sam Bailey

Nothing But Thieves - Tomorrow Is Closed (Official Video)

In Anna Brooks nostalgic promo for Isabel, we&nbsp;see the artist viewing frames through a vintage handheld slide viewer - with each picture magically transporting us to a dreamy vignette.&nbsp;"The concept for the video came from a love of the static photograph," Brooks explains.&nbsp;"I love how images can be sources of reflection, nostalgia and ambiguity. Growing up, we used to have a 35 mm projector at home. I used to find the whole experience so magical and tactile. When I found an original '90s version on eBay I knew it needed to feature in the video."I loved the idea of the music itself having the power to bring Isabel to life and break through the picture. As she performs in her own wonderland, her partner's remains locked in that moment only breaking the illusion through a blink or a glance."The evocative promo boasts a vintage, effervescent aesthetic,&nbsp;care of DoP Adam Singodia and colourist Vlad Barin (both previous guests of the Promonews Podcast) and was shot on 16mm.&nbsp;"Shooting on 16mm film was a no-brainer and felt like the perfect medium for the concept, keeping it all within the same analog world," says Brooks.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Joshua Stocker directs a beautiful and moving promo for Guvna B's autobiographical story of injustice, Bridgeland Road.&nbsp;Through a series of powerful vignettes - captured in outstanding cinematography by DoPs Adam Singodia and Luke Dryden - Stocker's video provides an atmospheric visual context for the London-born rapper, author and broadcaster's reflections upon his life following an unprovoked racially motivated attack, which he reported to the police but who dropped the case&nbsp;four months after the incident.Spurred on by Emmy award-winning actress and writer&nbsp;Michaela Coel - whose voicemail appears in the track around the halfway mark -&nbsp;Guvna B (aka Isaac Borquaye) reveals more about the attack and its subsequent handling by the police and legal process, while the monochrome video establishes the artist's world with artistic resonance.&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Stocker sets the scene with well-crafted scenes of the place&nbsp;where the artist&nbsp;grew up,&nbsp;detailing normal daily life, lazy afternoons and meetups with friends. But then representations of the harrowing attack and its aftermath, start to intrude while Guvna's heartfelt performance becomes the heart of the video.A director and photographer with considerable experience in bringing choreography to the screen - as in his excellent <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/04/19/olafur-arnalds-zero-joshua-stocker/70430" target="_blank">Olafur Arnalds video for Zero</a> - Joshua&nbsp;Stocker's&nbsp;uses all that experience, including movement direction of his on-screen extras, to craft the stream of images.That makes this piece, over five minutes long, a mesmerising experience.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Directing duo TEARJERKER direct a touching exploration of love and relationships, in their seventh promo for The Academic.&nbsp;The loved-up video for My Very Best is the third in a trilogy for the group's latest album, and is set against the backdrop of the annual Matchmaking Festival in&nbsp;Lisdoonvarna, Ireland.Anchored by farmer Willie Daly - the third in a line of traditional matchmakers - the video is a hopeful, heartwarming tale which documents the hope and bravery of people attending in anticipation of making a match.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Evoking a sense of timeless love, the duo blended a modern and vintage aesthetic, using an old Sony DV camera and Arri Alexa Mini. The Academic themselves appear in a performance shot in a community hall, tying the whole thing together in their own energetic way.Hope and Ronan&nbsp;of TEARJERKER had come across a sign for&nbsp;Europe's Largest Singles Festival while taking a road trip along the Wild Atlantic Way on the West Coast of Ireland a couple of years ago with a bunch of friends. They had stopped to take a photo next to the sign."Sadly it was cancelled that year, but we knew we'd be back to capture it one day," explains Hope. "There is something so brave and hopeful about the people going there with the anticipation and nervousness of finding a match, we wanted to document that feeling. "We took a tiny film crew there and we've truly never seen anything like it. It's an Irish match-making festival so there was a lot of boozing and the endorphins were high. We witnessed some pretty X-rated moments that didn't quite make it into the final cut.[imgtoken data:2] "All the friends from the photo with the sign are all in relationships now, so maybe there really is something in the air in Lisdoonvarna."The directors add that their long working relationship with The Academic has changed the way they make music videos.&nbsp;"There's such trust and respect between everyone working on the projects. The themes are often the same — youth, heartbreak, hope, big dreams in a small town — but we’ve tried to mix genres and form. We want each one to feel different.”

The Academic 'My Very Best' by TEARJERKER

The Academic - My Very Best

Viral TikTok track Jiggle Jiggle gets an unexpected music video treatment from Stanley Brock.&nbsp;Louis Theroux is one of our great documentary filmmakers - but I don't think any of us expected him to be the lead artist in a music video.&nbsp;This all changed when Duke &amp; Jones transformed his iconic Jiggle Jiggle rap - first seen on an episode of&nbsp;Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends in 2000 - into a catchy pop track.&nbsp;The video is a warm, celebratory affair, with Theroux and Dimz (Chicken Shop&nbsp;Date's Amelia Dimoldenberg) cruising around town, stopping to drink some wine at a café and&nbsp;get some dinner at a 'drive-Theroux'. And the appearance of Jason Derulo, with his beaming smile beamed in from LA, is the icing on the cake.&nbsp;Matching the idiosyncratic nature of the track, its a brilliant visual with plenty of comedic - and downright unusual - moments.&nbsp;

Emmanuelle Soffé takes us back to disco’s roots, in her video for Scottish DJ duo LF System.&nbsp;The video for Afraid To Feel plays on the song’s disco heritage, dropping us into the middle of a&nbsp;70's-inspired dancefloor, full of nods to the Hispanic, Latinx and Black Queer communities that first brought disco to the fore, with particular influence from ballroom dancing and voguing.The atmospheric cinematography, flamboyant performances and chromatic styling elevate the feel-good concept, ending on a celebratory, proud note.&nbsp;

Following the warmly nostalgic video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/01/21/metronomy-things-will-be-fine-juliet-casella-thibaut-caesar%C2%A0/74645">Things Will Be Fine</a>, Metronomy reunite with directors&nbsp;Juliet Casella &amp; Thibaut Caesar for the gleeful Right On Time.&nbsp;The band situate a dreamworld where they go skydiving, and then landing to enjoy a picnic and a spontaneous performance.&nbsp;Wonderfully art directed, the whimsical set design feels like a vintage kid's TV show, with bright colours and a menagerie of wacky props - which also happen to float around on their own.&nbsp;Anchored by playful performances and an overtly joyous tone, the video is an escape from the real world just momentarily, to enjoy a more innocent, laidback fantasy.And if you want to know more about how Casella &amp; Caesar and Metronomy created their skydive/picnic fantasy, check out the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sicuQeJO0kM" target="_blank">behind the scenes video</a>.

Metronomy 'Right On Time' by Juliet Casella & Thibaut Caesar 

Metronomy - Right on time (Official Video)

Metronomy relive their teenage years&nbsp;in Juliet Casella and Thibaut Caesar's warmly nostalgic video for Things Will Be Fine.&nbsp;Band frontman Joseph Mount describes the video as “a sort of pseudo role-play therapy session in which we all re-visit our teenage selves.” And as such the five bandmembers each have their own well-observed vignette, recreating the byegone age of the late Nineties/early Noughties, reflecting on some of their childhood ambitions and dreams.&nbsp;So we see Metronomy revisit&nbsp;old social media platforms (on a first-gen iMac), first-time attempts at shaving, saving a guinea pig on the loose, and suffering from teen ennui - all unfolding within the same house. It's glued together by a band performance, which also has the feel of&nbsp;a teen band try-out, in the living room.[imgtoken data:1]With a&nbsp;concept that flows directly from the song's lyrics, the video delivers on bringing those themes to life in way that's pitch-perfect for the band. The art direction and set design are top-notch, as are&nbsp;the performances. It makes for a memorable, charming video - and&nbsp;confirms a fairly evident fact that Metronomy are a marvellous video band.But apparently, making this video did take its toll.&nbsp;Joseph Mount concludes: “Everyone ended up more scarred than they did before making it - apart from Michael [Lovett] and his fucking guinea pigs.” And that's that.&nbsp;

In his second video for DJ/producer prxz, following <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/09/29/prxz-child-red-milo-blake/73079" target="_blank">Child In Red</a>, Milo Blake directs&nbsp;a poetic re-interpretation of the Grim Reaper shepherding a lost soul from limbo, in his promo for Girl.&nbsp;Shot entirely in a six minute&nbsp;continuous take, this one-shot film follows this version of the Reaper as she moves through an abandoned aftermath and interacts with the Soul.The abstract interpretation of the concept creates an aura of mystery which heightens the drama of the piece - with a great use of the East London location and in particular a giant electric pylon tower that straddles the road, its frame picked out in Adam Singodia's black and white cinematography.[imgtoken data:1]The excellent central performances by Emma Aldija as the Reaper and&nbsp;Maddie Millar as the Soul are also noteworthy,&nbsp;keeping viewers engaged with hypnotic, otherworldly movement and spontaneous choreography, captured by Steadicam operator Mike Vega.&nbsp;
