A great, slowburning performance video for Foals by Aaron Brown, aka Focus Creeps.Shot in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Brown&nbsp;keep things simple to begin with. But then the performance of In Degrees&nbsp;begins to switch seamlessly between daytime, and the band playing on a deserted modernist stage in the jungle, and then the nighttime equivalent, heaving with a dancing audience.Foals frontman Yannis&nbsp;Philippakis is the focal point throughout, but the beautifully crafted approach allows the viewer to gradually get inside the performance and the song.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Georgia gets immersed into a multi-coloured&nbsp;forest&nbsp;along with mysterious figures, for her heavily atmospheric&nbsp;video for Nothing Solutions, directed by Courtney Philips. At first, it appears she&#39;s running away from the shadows, but as they catch up with her, we find out&nbsp;she&rsquo;s actually running with them - leading the pack.

Nick Rutter&#39;s dramatic promo for Rag&#39;n&#39;Bone Man&#39;s Hard Came The Rain documents the dramatic, violent end of a unstable&nbsp;relationship between a female impersonator and his obsessive ex-lover.It feels like a short film, and impresses for the&nbsp;complexity of the characters and&nbsp;intensity of the performances. And that feels about right for Rag&#39;n&#39;Bone Man&#39;s powerful brand of blues-rock.

Newly-signed Stink directors Wilkins &amp; Maguire capture the action-packed, heart-rending story of two&nbsp;child jockeys competing in a jawdroppingly dangerous Indonesian&nbsp;bareback horse race - in their music video for Andy C &amp; Fiora&#39;s&nbsp;Heartbeat Loud.Wilkins &amp; Maguire are Leo Maguire and Robert Wilkins, who teamed up to create the acclaimed Channel 4 doc Gypsy Blood - a portrayal of fatherhood and masculinity within the traveller community, after Leo had won the coveted Getty Grant for his photography work telling stories of bare-knuckle fighters, and the code of honour handed down the generations, in that community.&nbsp;Leo and Robert&nbsp;then went&nbsp;on to make the BAFTA-nominated Dogging Tales, and Soweto Spinning, the latter about a post-apartheid search for freedom of expression.And their debut music video &ndash; part-documentary, part-drama &ndash; vividly demonstrates their ability to gain the trust of members of a community to tell their real yet remarkable story in a powerful fashion.
