Director

Huse Monfaradi

Huse Monfaradi directs a splendidly vibrant, and wittily retro&nbsp;live visual for Declan McKenna's Be An Astronaut.&nbsp;With a single line of silver glitter drawn on his face, the indie-rock prodigy sets aside the more heavy surrealism seen in his official videos, and goes all-in with a dynamic live performance of old school glam rock.&nbsp;Paying homage to iconic artists in the genre - particularly Hunky Dory-era Bowie and early Elton&nbsp;-&nbsp;the&nbsp;track is visualised through a lively and unabashed performance from McKenna, backed up by a handful of equally animated, and appropriately&nbsp;styled&nbsp;musicians.&nbsp;The location is excellent too, toeing the line between derelict and palatial. And Monfaradi's canny use of camera&nbsp;and lenses seals the early '70s vibe,&nbsp;and works well in the themes of dreams vs reality that run through the lyrics.&nbsp;

Michael Kiwanuka plays an intimate and transcendent set&nbsp;in&nbsp;Huse Monfaradi's long-form video,&nbsp;Live At The Mildmay Club.&nbsp;Shot by four handheld cameras, the magical performance is colourful, bold and engaging. With a real feeling of community and shared experience, the video captures the energy and spirit of&nbsp;Kiwanuka's music, as well as the captivating effect it has on the audience and musicians who work with him.&nbsp;

Paolo Nutini 'Iron Sky' by Huse Monfaradi

Paolo-Nutini-'Iron-Sky'-by-Huse-Monfaradi

Huse has done something like this before. That was great, and this is pretty damn good too: one straightforward live performance, documenting a very tight band in a single take.
In fact, in this case, a single shot. Good work, Richard Mott who hand-held the whole thing. Not even a Steadicam, for chrissakes.
So never mind that are Joe and his pals are less Arctic Monkeys, more Razorlight.

Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jongs’ Lucio Starts Fires by Huse

The new one for Pigeon Detectives by Huse Monfaradi has echoes of his magic moments for Arctic Monkeys (particularly Dancefloor) with a twist of Patrick Daughters' first Kings Of Leon (The Bucket). 
With four edits in one by hardworking Tim Woolcott at The Joint.
