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;

Courting 'Tennis' by Kris R

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;
