Elliott Hale directs a love letter to record stores with this poignant&nbsp;promo for Canadian band The Bishop Boys.&nbsp;In the video for Stone Man, the story of a couple's relationship is told through visits to a record shop, the two main characters connecting over a love for vinyl. But will they hit it off with each other?&nbsp;There is a sense of warm nostalgia for both the environment and the physical format, and the importance music has to every aspect of our lives. Shot in gentle fashion to reflect the sedate foilky nature of the song, it's a&nbsp;simple well-executed narrative concept that's hugely relatable.[imgtoken data:1]

The Bishop Boys 'Stone Man' by Elliott Hale

The Bishop Boys - Stone Man (Official Music Video)

Elliott Hale directs a reflective promo for The Bishop Boys, a singer-songwriter duo from Ontario, Canada, that wears its love of Wes Anderson on its sleeve.&nbsp;In the video for Guelph Riff, we follow the Bishop Boys' Austin and Andrew&nbsp;through a full year, continuing to create within the constraints of a sitting room. In true Anderson style, each season is titled, the camera is locked off to capture the action. The Boys even flip through that Wes Anderson coffee table book...&nbsp;Performing on a custom-built stage set, the pair live out their lives - celebrating birthdays, hanging out with their partners, creating music. Beyond the Wes references, the video reflects on our ability to adapt to different environments, whilst still feeling an urge to make things and socialise with loved ones. With the pandemic still fresh in everyone's minds, it's a super relatable concept, but told in an engaging way.
