Krishna Muthurangu and&nbsp;Kit Monteith co-direct an absorbing&nbsp;promo for Mykki Blanco, featuring legendary singer-songwriter Michael Stipe&nbsp;of REM fame.&nbsp;The video for Family Ties&nbsp;complements&nbsp;the narrative in the track, following Blanco's ex-boyfriend as he tries to help his father,&nbsp;who is suffering with mental health issues.&nbsp;The black and white, coastal aesthetic perfectly suits the concept, highlighting the isolating nature of trying to help someone close to you who is going through something difficult, both from Blanco and the boyfriend character's perspective.&nbsp;The intermittent performance sections have a similarly sombre mood, and explore the contrast of solitude versus freedom. Both Blanco and Stipe's performances are restrained - the former&nbsp;in a small area of the house, and the latter appearing on a vintage television set - and this elevates the themes of the concept.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mykki Blanco ft Michael Stipe 'Family Ties' by Krishna Muthurangu, Kit Monteith

Mykki Blanco - Family Ties (Official Video) ft. Michael Stipe

A brilliant, kinetic performance video by Kit Monteith for Everything Everything&#39;s finest song, Night Of The Long Knives.Shot in Low Four Studios in Manchester, Monteith has turned a simple and&nbsp;intimate studio performance into a frenzy of pent-up energy with a breathtaking use of digital camera imagery - from the pristine to the super-gnarly.Rather than switching formats, the images change quality within shots, resolution disintegrates, TV distortion interrupts, and the director embraces the digital glitch and drop-out to brilliant effect. It&#39;s all choreographed to elevate an already terrific song.&nbsp;One of the best band performance pieces in a long time.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bound and&nbsp;dumped in the middle of nowhere would be bad news for most guys, but the resourceful protagonist in the video for Toothless&#39;s The Sirens - directed by the duo Joseph Keirs and Sef Tedder &ndash; bounces back with aplomb, and embarks on a breathless high-octane lifestyle on sun-kissed, fun-filled Ibiza - involving an impressive number of assignations with the female population.&nbsp;It&#39;s a thrilling ride, which goes the beyond the usual hedonistic take on Ibiza, and looking into the darker side. With an eclectic range of characters cast through Facebook, the directors Keirs and Tedder have done a very impressive job here - at times, with their adventurous&nbsp;POV approach, like a less violent, more sexy&nbsp;version of <a href="http://promonews.tv/videos/2013/03/20/biting-elbows-bad-motherfucker-insane-office-escape-2-ilya-naishuller" target="_blank">Biting Elbow&#39;s&nbsp;Bad Motherfucker</a>.
