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;

The Orielles get stuck on a loop in Come Down On Jupiter, directed by Rose Hendry.&nbsp;A&nbsp;cup of tea crashing to the floor in a café triggers a series of repetitive events, reminiscent of the film Groundhog Day. Shot in a beautifully slow and considered style, DP Ian Forbes captures the melancholy of everyday life, the moments where nothing seems to be happening, with slow movements and carefully composed close-ups.The cyclical nature of the concept is mirrored by lots of spinning- fingers twirling around the rim of a cup, clock hands ticking, moving a salt shaker in a never-ending loop. It's a poignant and exciting setup which commands attention, and does so in a blissfully psychedlic way.&nbsp;

Ciaran Lyons latest puts new-rockers Otherkin at odds with a fat and self-important old man, who is suitably pocket-sized at the beginning,&nbsp;but is getting bigger all the time.So begins this horrible human&#39;s black and white reign of terror. A simple analogy, in which&nbsp;this Sean Spicer-alike finally gets his comeuppance. Nice work from Lyons, who is on a roll with his distinctive pixellated style and lo-fi FX-driven comedy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Oscar Sansom strips things down to the bare essentials in this hazy, intimate analogue portrait of Biffy Clyro&#39;s Simon Neil.Shot on 16mm film in and around the singer&#39;s home, the video is a soft-focus, close-up study of Simon in which Oscar gives the lyrics room to contextualise the images.

Director Oscar Sansom takes the Peep Show approach &ndash;&nbsp;with added VFX &ndash; for his video for Twin Atlantic&#39;s anthemic The Chaser. It&#39;s a&nbsp;frenetic, multi-perspective POV video set around a single hedonistic evening in a neon-saturated nightclub. And it was shot in the same club in Glasgow&nbsp;that the band played their first show.&nbsp;

Oscar Sansom goes for a simple but striking approach for Newton Faulkner&#39;s new video, launching the artist&#39;s new album Human Love.It sees a&nbsp;stripped-back, emotional performance from Newton Faulkner singing&nbsp;his&nbsp;cover of&nbsp;Major Lazor&#39;s&nbsp;Get Free.&nbsp;As Newton starts lopping off great chunks of his signature red dreadlocks the camera sweeps around him to examine the procedure&nbsp;in detail.&nbsp;The emotion playing out on his face ranges from fear to pain to surprise, and definitely some exhilaration as the pile of hair grows. Finally coming to rest on his sharp new look, a wry smile suggests Newton is back and ready to&nbsp;surprise us.&nbsp;

After the likes of To Kill A King's Cold Skin and Fictional State, here's another cracking video by Jack King, bursting with untrammelled imagination and comedy violence for Hourglass Sea's LA Lights. There really is something surreal going on in Yorkshire."Dean's (Hourglass sea) music is probably the thing that's excited me most out of anything coming out of Bradford recently, so i wanted to do that justice by doing something big with a small budget - which amongst other things meant doing things like getting vans and cars of people and kit and restaurant tables down a quarry crack of dawn on a saturday so no-one would see us," Jack explains."Unsurprisingly we got caught on pretty much all occasions but thankfully we managed to convince the owners and police we weren't quad-biking or dogging or stealing things we had no idea were actually worth money. We had the most amazing cast and crew and understanding locals so pretty much everything else went like a dream and we wrapped on time and to budget, even if we shaved 20 years of our lives doing it."
