Legendary producer Four Tet has released his first music video in fourteen years, a vivacious piece of constructed reality by Joanna Nordahl.&nbsp;The innovative video follows two best friends out on a rager at Ally Pally: pre-drinking,&nbsp;revelling at Four Tet's mammoth comeback gig,&nbsp;and running around the venue’s empty corridors. Four Tet has a particular resonance for Londoners who came of age at the turn of the millennium, and Nordahl's affection for the music is tangible in these little experiences.The gig itself is a piece of magic, supported by a staggering installation of 40,000 lights by visual collective Squidsoup. The obvious choice would have been to try and match the majesty of this event with boisterous, coverage-heavy photography. But by honing in on these girls - real or fictional - the video immerses us in an authentic stadium experience. The sight of one of the girls emptying her entire bag out onto the bathroom floor (to find her phone) will elicit a sigh of recognition from anyone who has ever gone to Alexandra Palace.Nordahl had the nerve to document this complete anomaly of an event on Super 16mm. The format is not only famously unforgiving, but also a pretty brave choice considering the limitations on run time. Thanks to Ryan Marie Helfant, the DoP behind delicate, luminescent visuals&nbsp;for Solange and Kadhja Bonet, the decision paid off. See for yourself.

Four Tet 'Teenage Birdsong' by Joanna Nordahl

Four Tet - Teenage Birdsong (Official Music Video)

After a mere 22 year break, seminal shoegazers Slowdive have returned with a new video directed by Riff Raff&#39;s Nursery of Evil duo in/out.Taking inspiration from Slowdive&#39;s new album artwork (which is itself a still from a 1957 avant-garde film called Heaven &amp; Earth Magic) the video is an exploration of geometric shapes, pictures within pictures and positives within negatives. Light circles objects and faces, warping abstract patterns in and out of existence with every frame.Contrasting colours&nbsp;create a deeply satisfying palette for a serene and dreamlike visual which complements perfectly the band&#39;s dream-pop&nbsp;sound.
