Ewan Jones Morris and Casey Raymond have been making videos for John Grant since his first solo album&nbsp;Queen Of Denmark&nbsp;came out more than a decade ago. It's been a remarkable collaboration, resulting in some of the weirdest, wackiest and darkly humourous&nbsp;videos ever made by a sensitive singer-songwriter from North America.Something about Grant's deeply personal lyrics and mordant sense of humour brings out the best of a couple of Welshmen with a taste for the iconoclastic, irreverent and deeply absurd. Their latest, for the&nbsp;title track from his latest album Boy From Michigan, is fully in the tradition of the likes of Marz, Global Warming, and particularly, <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/10/17/john-grant-hes-got-his-mothers-hips-ewan-jones-morris-casey-raymond/55552" target="_blank">He's Got Your Mothers Hips</a>, where Casey &amp; Ewan recruited a small army of leftfield animation talent from across the globe to reinterpret John's performance in a variety of ways.As with Mother's Hips,&nbsp;there are a variety of animation styles here, but more focussed on illustrating the coming-of-age tale in Grant's lyrics, about the boy living a sheltered suburban life, about to set out into the big, bad world.It includes some wonderful graphic elements - from the Robert Williams's drag-racer-style opening animation, to nightmarish morphing, Punch &amp; Judy-style puppetry, painted stock footage, animated paintings and more&nbsp;- created by Jones Morris and Raymond themselves, with&nbsp;Jenny Jokela, Marcos Sánchez and Peter Raymond.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3][imgtoken data:4]&nbsp;
