Jacob Erland directs a heartwarming promo for Beabadoobee.Shot across four day with Bea's friends&nbsp;and family in the Philippines, the video is an intimate, fly-on-the-wall montage of touching moments, shot on film to create a warm and nostalgic aesthetic.&nbsp;Connected by Bea's carefree performance, the docu-style video is a contrast to some of the more abstract, high-concept videos we've seen before, and it's great to see another side to the artist.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Charles Gall directs a heartwarming promo for 220 Kid.&nbsp;The video for Look Where We Are examines a love story through the ages, from the POV of an older man.&nbsp;As he settles in to get his eyes tested, we are instantly transported back in time to the early days of his relationship, and experience several snapshots of the couple's story at different points in their lives.&nbsp;Making good use of first-person camera, the video feels intimate and universal, celebrating the companionship of someone across a long period - and it's a great fit with&nbsp;the lyrics of the track.&nbsp;

Balan Evans directs a touching promo for Eloise's Drunk On A Flight.&nbsp;The video sees the artist sat at the end of a row of characters, waiting to board a flight in a mockup airport. Fragments of narrative from the lyrics are visualised in vignettes between other characters, yet Eloise exudes&nbsp;the emotion of the entire track, poignant and bittersweet, in her performance.&nbsp;Dynamic camerawork and clever moving pieces give the video a dreamlike flourish, and the art direction helps to both sell the location and give the entire concept a larger than life feel.[imgtoken data:1]"This one was a real feat but it felt like everyone was on the same page from day dot," director Balan Evans says."It’s actually the first big set build I’ve done which had its own new challenges, but we had an incredible team who all brought their own unique style to the film. It all just meshed together in the best possible way."

Luis Hindman directs a kaleidoscopic promo for Master Peace, the second of three videos he's directed for the South London musician.&nbsp;The frenetic, colour-soaked video for Veronica sees the artist take&nbsp;an interest in the song's namesake, spotting her at a club before seeing spiralling into a Y2K-inspired fever dream.&nbsp;The name Veronica starts to appear everywhere - on bottles, necklace pendants and even a pack of cigarettes - and before long, the whole room has warped into a series of fluid textures and uncanny forms.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm, the video has a gritty yet vibrant aesthetic, with a truly trippy vibe throughout. A fine follow-up to the equally vibrant and energetic video Hindman directed for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGlct4ccNBQ" target="_blank">Country Life</a>.&nbsp;

Billy Lockett has zombies on the brain, in&nbsp;Kris R's cracking promo for Freaking Out.&nbsp;Paying homage to an iconic&nbsp;Shaun of the Dead&nbsp;scene, we see Lockett head out to the shops, stalked by a set of zombies who may or may not turn undead after encountering the artist.&nbsp;The image of a straight to camera performance backdropped by undead extras is hilarious and captivating, and Kris imbues the concept with enigmatic nuggets of information, which allow&nbsp;viewers to make up their own mind about a few key details.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"Zombies were a key part of the brief I received for the track, but I wanted to dig a bit deeper into what including the 'walking dead' in this context would suggest about Billy himself," says Kris. "With that, I decided that the characters - who morph from ordinary passersby into white-eyed monsters - would personify his darkest inner thoughts, following him wherever he goes. As Billy finally turns to confront his demons they disappear, forcing us to ask the question: 'Were they ever really there, or was it all in his head?' "When thinking about structure, I immediately thought of that scene in Shaun of the Dead when Shaun walks to the shop, failing to realise the state of everyone that he passes. I think most people my age are familiar with that scene, so it was really fun to drop in Easter eggs throughout."&nbsp;

Mila Van Der Linden and&nbsp;Stefania Lucchesi co-direct a vibrant performance promo for Mila V.&nbsp;The second self-directed video from the Slow Burn EP is a natural progression from the first video, S.N.C.L, which combines fast-paced visuals with sci-fi elements.&nbsp;Coruscating lights and abstract textures create an enigmatic aesthetic, which dissolves into an all-out hypnotic trip.&nbsp;Anchored by a commanding performance and a sense of mystery, it's a great showcase of both the artist and director/creative team.&nbsp;

Director Charles Gall unleashes a little bit of madness for Sports Team's latest promo, where lead singer Alex Rice becomes the hapless contestant in a sadistic game show.&nbsp;Welcome to 'The Game',&nbsp;where life's hard but you can't complain...We see Alex sitting at home, flicking through TV when he comes across a surreal gameshow, and signs up to land a guest spot. Before long, he is shaking hands with the eccentric presenter - played by veteran singer-songwriter John Otway - and enters into an increasingly unappealing set of tasks.Meanwhile, the rest of the band are among the audience, all too willing to subject Alex to demeaning and painful 'games' -&nbsp;including a real-life version of the board game Operation, and a ruck with the entire group dressed as animals, and finally ending up as an angel harrassed by a mob of devils.It's a vibe that perfectly suits the London-based indie-rock group, and Rice manages to amp up the charm even when getting stomped on by giant animal feet...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Charles Gall directs a visually arresting promo for up and coming Leeds-based band&nbsp;English Teacher.To say the video is offbeat would be a huge understatement - from awkward Dad dancing to folk horror vibes and a grisly finalé, the concept demands your full attention, and will leave viewers&nbsp;questioning what they just spent four minutes watching.&nbsp;The slow zooms and haunting costumes elevate the weird vibes, and a brilliant performance from vocalist Lily Fontaine acts as the glue which blends&nbsp;the gorgeous vignettes.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Kris R directs a superb blend of performance and offbeat narrative for Liverpool-based band Courting.&nbsp;In the&nbsp;video for Tennis, the band's delivery of a betrayed sugar daddy's monologue, ending his relationship with his trophy wife, is gatecrashed by the less composed reality of this unattractive&nbsp;character. As the band perform the speech he wishes to make, he blunders around, trying to contact her, in an increasing state of helpless drunken fury.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]From the idiosyncratic performance of the band, to the slightly haunting presence of the main character, Kris R brings humour with a sense of discomfort and danger in almost every scene - which makes the visual even more absorbing and addictive.&nbsp;Also, I'm sure we won't be the first to point out the rather fitting link between the band name and the track name... Coincidence or fate? I guess we'll wait and see what they come up with next.&nbsp;

Dylan Friese-Greene directs an introspective promo for Irish rock band Just Mustard.&nbsp;The video depicts a series of everyday situations - hanging out with friends, dancing on your own, lying in bed - in an increasingly apathetic, dreamlike way.&nbsp;The use of rippling effects elevates the transcendental vibes,&nbsp;and a particular vignette with the characters all tapping the screen seems to suggest a breaking of the fourth-wall, which draws viewers into this same surreal space.&nbsp;

Kris R creates a delightfully oddball comedy for Baby Dave - Isaac Holman from Slaves's new solo project&nbsp;- getting to grips with the richly off-kilter and funny lyrical content of Clarence's Dead Dad.It all starts with Isaac sitting up in bed with an older lady, watching a Burt Reynolds movie from the '80s - before his helpfulness leads him to the attic, and a surprising encounter with the eponymous Clarence's Dead Dad and his friend, known as The Taxidermy Fox.&nbsp;A competitive game of cards ensues, followed by general tomfoolery - and more clips of Burt Reynolds. Expectations are subverted, and the fine performances by the four-person&nbsp;cast - Chris Repps, Rufus White and Kelly Lee as well as Holman&nbsp;- and cinematography&nbsp;by Jed Darlington-Roberts,&nbsp;taps into British cinematic tradition to create its own interesting blend of kitchen sink surrealism.<blockquote>It began as something sinister, but we realized that its their companionship that we found appealing.</blockquote>"Working with Isaac to bring this (semi) autobiographical tale to life has taken me to places I’ll never go again - but not because I&nbsp;wouldn’t want to," declares Kris, enigmatically. "The idea began as something sinister, but we soon realized that the companionship of this most unlikely trio that we all found appealing."Casting took a while to get right, but once we had decided on Chris (Clarence’s Dead Dad) and Rufus (The Taxidermy Fox), things started to fall into place. Their ability and willingness allowed us to create an intensity that could sustain the ridiculousness."
