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;

Rose Hendry directs an enigmatic film for Arab Strap's Fable Of The Urban Fox.&nbsp;Starring actress Fiona O'Shaugnessy, the video opens&nbsp;with a moment of unhinged violence - the results of which are kept off-screen until the end - and charges into a frantic exploration of one woman's attempts to cover up her crimes... and forgive herself for her actions.&nbsp;Shot mostly from a single vantage point with a perpetually rotating camera, the video matches an unsettling serenity with a sense of danger and risk, creating a divergent, contradictory mood throughout.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Moon's video&nbsp;for UK singer-songwriter Mimi Webb&nbsp;spans four minimalist&nbsp;vignettes,&nbsp;which conceptualise the track Reason's&nbsp;themes of jagged self-reflection and&nbsp;introspective struggles.&nbsp;DoP Francis Lane uses fractured framing, lucid lighting and dazzling on-camera, practical filters, to personify Webb's demons, creating a nightmarish vision cloaked in glossy pop aesthetics.&nbsp;Moon's disjointed, frantic edit conveys the whirlwind of internal emotions and the rollercoaster journey in the artist's head.&nbsp;

Sammy King pays&nbsp;homage to the limitless capacities of female empowerment, in the vibrant promo for Celeste's Love Is Back.&nbsp;It's set in a fantastical version of&nbsp;the Big Bang '80s, where the London Stock Exchange is run by women rather than barrowboy brokers - and&nbsp;the global currency is love.&nbsp;Celeste and her&nbsp;girls&nbsp;are working around the clock to help bring love back to the top and to do so, they’ll have to work together to sell stocks via the airwaves - and teach the men how it's done.&nbsp;The retro aesthetic and sharp styling exude nostalgic vibes, and DoP&nbsp;Nathalie Pitters matches this energy with effervescent neon lighting and vintage film cutaways.&nbsp;

Olivia Rose delivers an up-close and personal promo for Emir Taha's debut music video for Huyu Suyu.&nbsp;As explained by the artist himself,&nbsp;"'Huyu huyuma denk, suyu suyuma denk’ means getting on well together, being of the same disposition. The literal meaning is ‘her ways match my ways, her water matches my water.’ That chemistry is captured perfectly in the video. It’s about two people who share the same energy, dreaming underwater through hallucinations."The alluring visuals flicker between&nbsp;intimate vignettes in the water, from bathtime romps to solo soaks in the tub, an amalgamation of memory and fantasy. Taha continues, "It’s my first ever music video so its is a defining moment in an artist’s visual world - I feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with the amazing Olivia Rose whose taste I admire a lot.”DoP&nbsp;Nathalie Pitters creates a sensual, physical experience with the cinematography, utlising opulent gold&nbsp;and orange colour palettes usually to portray a sense of luxury and fantasy.[imgtoken data:1]OLIVIA ROSE:<blockquote>This was an amazing experience in how much water can change the dynamic of shooting.&nbsp;</blockquote>“Huyu Suyu, the coming together of the masculine and feminine. Taking influence from Emir’s lyrics as well as his Turkish heritage we set the video in water - from a bath to the deep blue - where Emir meets a mirage in a red veil - loosely based on Turkish bridal attire."The promo focuses on that electric moment when you think two people are coming together but they don’t quite make it, the moment the mirage disappears and Emir realises he is alone in the bath once more."Leaning in to his heritage which is so beautifully captured in the melody of the track, we wanted to attempt to recreate Turkish ebru art around his body in the bath - it’s a metaphor for Emir’s world becoming trippy and ethereal, a marker point for us before he is dragged under. For me, this was an amazing experience in how much water can change the dynamic of shooting.”

Caroline Hajny directs a quite literally introspective promo for Liv East, delving into the artist's psyche with distorted abandon.&nbsp;The video for Demonz pays homage to the vivid aesthetic of Giallo films, focusing on bold primary colours whilst experimenting with the texture and format of 16mm film.&nbsp;Anchored by a haunting performance and a similarly ethereal soundtrack, the video takes viewers on a transcendent journey of the mind - albeit, a hyper-stylised version of events.&nbsp;"Liv had a really strong idea about where she wanted to go with the visuals for Demonz," explains Hajny. "To really hone in on the idea of entering Liv’s mind we decided to experiment with a lot of in camera effects and really push the format of 16mm."Working with Michael [Hobdell, DoP]&nbsp;was amazing. He’s never afraid of trying things out, so we ended up playing around with different kinds of distortions to achieve the look to represent Liv’s state of mind in the demon world."
