Rollo Jackson's arrresting visual for Overmono&nbsp;serves as a teaser for the electronica duo's new track Is U? - and their forthcoming debut album Good Lies.Jackson's video for the opening minute of Is U? begins with a aerial shot of a twisting road in the desert, then cuts between a BMW coasting along the road, and a&nbsp;Doberman dog (who also features on the album cover) sprinting&nbsp; towards the camera, creating its own tracks in the dirt.&nbsp;The video may be brief, but it leaves a powerful impression. The enigmatic atmosphere creates&nbsp;plenty of mystery around the new track.&nbsp;

Sam Davis and Tom Andrew direct a technically impressive promo for&nbsp;Nemahsis, with creative direction from Crowns &amp; Owls.&nbsp;The video for Criminal sees the artist stood&nbsp;in the middle of a complex camera rig, with a menagerie of CCTV cameras trained on the platform, capturing her every movement.&nbsp;Cycling through a series of striking outfits and art direction elements, the video is seamlessly brought together by editor Steve Shaw,&nbsp;who&nbsp;funnels a huge amount of footage into a razor sharp cut, which brings out the frenetic emotion of the concept.&nbsp;

Ethan + Tom direct an introspective promo for Tendai's&nbsp;Time In Our Lives, where we see a man editing&nbsp;film on an old Steenbeck, taking great care of the material as he watches back the negatives and cuts with trained precision.&nbsp;A sense of yearning nostalgia is created by touching upon&nbsp;the physical traditions of moving image production, whilst hinting at a love story gone astray in a tender performance vignette.&nbsp;The video is refreshingly multilayered and clever in its concept, visualising 'time gone by',&nbsp;not only in a single narrative&nbsp;but by offering snapshots of near-antiquated technology and the traditions that are gradually being lost to&nbsp;the passing of time itself.Great work from the director duo, who won at the UKMVAs&nbsp;this year for their video for Wu-Lu's&nbsp;Ten.&nbsp;

Directing duo Uncanny direct a poignant performance promo for Loyle Carner.&nbsp;Exploring themes of identity, belonging and emotional connection, the one-take video&nbsp;opens on Carner's face and gradually pulls back to reveal a spectacular climactic shot of the artist rooted into the ground, whilst holding a kid of his own.&nbsp;Shot on an infrared camera, the distinctive aesthetic adds a fragile, ethereal look to the cinematography, and distorts the surroundings into an amalgam of fantasy and reality.&nbsp;

Shygirl inhabits an icy dreamworld in&nbsp;Yasser Abubeker's promo for Firefly.&nbsp;The ethereal video moves at a gentle pace, blending a sense of Noughties nostalgia with contemporary flair.&nbsp;Centred on&nbsp;understated performance and&nbsp;otherworldly art direction, the video is deeply hypnotic and transcendent, lingering&nbsp;in viewers' brains long after watching it.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Kasabian return with an intriguing dive into the possiblities of Artificial Intelligence-driven animation, working with Rawtape - aka Rory A Wood - to reimagine a band performance of Scriptvre, the first release from the upcoming new album.As we have seen with visuals such as <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/03/11/max-cooper-exotic-contents-xander-steenbrugge/75368" target="_blank">Xander Steenbrugge's recent video for Max Cooper</a>, it will be fascinating to see where we are heading with&nbsp;AI-manipulated imagery. In this case, Kasabian and Rawtape have dipped into&nbsp;the new box of tricks to enhance&nbsp;Kasabian's existing iconography.Certainly looks&nbsp;like there has been some&nbsp;judicious&nbsp;use of the 'Francis Bacon' setting.[imgtoken data:1]

Ethan + Tom direct an introspective promo for up and coming London-based artist tendai.&nbsp;The video builds upon the director duo's trademark eclectic style, mashing together live action footage with stock imagery and vintage&nbsp;home video cutaways.&nbsp;The use of projection and bold colour in the cinematography elevates the visual, which is contained in its location but unrestrained in its aesthetic.&nbsp;

Joao Retorta explores the connection between people and possessions in his quietly devastating visual for the American composer/performer Stephan Moccio.The video for Moccio's solo piano composition Halston&nbsp;is set&nbsp;in a&nbsp;Lost Property Office, where a solitary officer on the nightshift diligently records newly arrived belongings -&nbsp;photos, books, wallets, spectacles, passports, toys, and more - archiving and photographing each item.&nbsp;The viewer is invited to reflect upon&nbsp;the people who have lost these treasured possessions - who are represented in the film as anxious voices enquiring after lost items on the office answering machine.[imgtoken data:1]<blockquote>I was interested in the question of what the objects we leave behind say about ourselves.</blockquote>Retorta and his director of photography Fraser Rigg create a cinematic atmosphere in this setting with subdued and subtle lighting, complimenting the art direction by Louis Simonon, and allowing&nbsp;the plaintive&nbsp;refrain of Moccio's Halston&nbsp;to flourish&nbsp;as an emotional soundtrack to the human stories that accompany each object.&nbsp;And the understated performance by Linda Edmonds as the lost property officer provides a&nbsp;focus for the sense of loss and loneliness evoked by the music."I was interested in exploring the question of ‘what do the objects we leave behind tell us about ourselves?’," says Joao Retorta.&nbsp;"This setting works as a vehicle for us to look at these items and question their previous lives and owners,&nbsp;and how they&nbsp;came to be lost. I wanted them to work as small windows for something bigger. Something that is down to the viewer to fabricate."[imgtoken data:2]This is a&nbsp;real&nbsp;departure from much of Retorta's&nbsp;previous work in music videos. But the contained nature of the idea and the setting&nbsp;allows some magic to take place once the viewer is drawn in. Most importantly, it allows the cinematic emotion of Moccio's music to flourish."At its core, the video is about human experience," Retorta&nbsp;continues. "I wanted to create something that subtly explores life in the city by looking at the objects that its people left behind. Hopefully I achieved it to some degree.
