The Sacred Egg - London-based directing duo Alex Mavor and Ed Kaye - direct&nbsp;a mesmerising, and thought-provoking promo for Depeche Mode.&nbsp;In&nbsp;this incisive, metaphorical short story,&nbsp;couple try to work their way through a&nbsp;communication breakdown in a world where talking in the normal fashion is evidently impossible - and can only be achieved underwater.It's a concept that bounces beautifully&nbsp;off the theme of the track Wagging Tongue,&nbsp;brought to life in a dramatic, and highly cinematic fashion, with&nbsp;gorgeous black and white&nbsp;cinematography by legendary DoP Simon Chaudoir, and consummmate performances from the lead actors, assisted by the use of visual effects in the underwater scenes that add a&nbsp;supernatural, otherworldly angle.&nbsp;Echoing the style of the band's longtime collaborator and creative director Anton Corbijn, the monochromatic colour palette adds to the raw aesthetic, and helps tie the concept&nbsp;to Depeche Mode's considerable videography to date.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

Depeche Mode 'Wagging Tongue' by The Sacred Egg

Depeche Mode - Wagging Tongue (Official Video)

The Sacred Egg&#39;s vision of the future is not all that cheery in Arcade Fire&#39;s new video for&nbsp;Everything Now.With the remnants of satellites littering the barren desert landscape, children playing among the waste and the floating cacti, and an endless team of people in hazmat suits combing the earth for clues, it&#39;s a dystopia that feels a little too real in wake of recent American political missteps in the field of climate change. Tied together through the decaying infrastructure, the various dystopian vignettes cast a bleak, but beautifully shot, view of the future. Intercut with a stylish-as-ever performance from Arcade Fire who sit right in amongst the desert themselves (next to a brilliant, entirely useless billboard that intentionally blends into the backdrop and also serves as the artwork for the album).
