LOOSE reunites with IDLES, and also collaborates with animator Edie Lawrence to direct an eye-popping&nbsp;claymation epic for the piledriving Crawl.&nbsp;In classic claymation style, the fun is how the malleability of the form leads to a jawdropping, often grisly transformation. That is certainly the case here, as a claymation version of IDLES' vocalist Joe Talbot hits the road on his chopper&nbsp;motorbike, riding down a Route 66-style highway.It's not long before the transformation begins, as he ventures further into the unknown. The flesh is slowly being stripped away from his body...Exploring the lyrical themes of addiction&nbsp;and having to face your demons head-on, the video is a brilliant achievement. Not for the faint of heart, maybe, but it is IDLES after all.&nbsp;LOOSE and animator&nbsp;Edie Lawrence, supplemented by&nbsp;VFX wizard&nbsp;Jordan Chappell, echo the work of the real masters of the artform, and it's very good to see claymation having a moment once again.

Remi Laudat directs a colourful and&nbsp;hyperactive visual for Nothing But Thieves.&nbsp;Shot from a first-person perspective, we see a hand burst through different doors&nbsp;as the band glitch and close in on him in a Groundhog Day-style concept.Mixing frenetic handheld shots with clever in-camera transitions and effects, the video maintains its quickfire pace throughout, feeling like a nightmare on fast-forward."The visual is vibrant, at times disorientating and coincidentally quite relevant to society’s current situation," says Laudat. "Let’s hope everyone isn’t going crazy and this video serves as a little moment of escapism for the viewer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
