Broken Antenna return to music videos with this playful, technically adept video for Fatima and Joe Armin-Jones.The track&nbsp;#1, a song about a lover that’s emotionally disconnected due to past trauma, is paradoxically paired with a visual that demonstrates that love and compassion can still exist. The day to day goings-on in a&nbsp;domestic life are&nbsp;captured in a single tracking move, with its complexity highlighted by an additional layer of video squares, highlighting small details.&nbsp;It's a welcome return to music for the directing duo, whose work includes acclaimed videos for Hak Baker, Clark and Slick Don.&nbsp;

Dave Bullivant's&nbsp;second video for DJ producer legend Bonobo (aka Simon Green) follows <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2016/11/07/bonobo-kerala-bison/44522" target="_blank">his&nbsp;first one</a> in focussing on a performance through a very distinctive visual prism.For Otomo, roller skater Harrison Peterkin speeds through cityscapes and stunning natural settings, often distorted through the lens of a 360 camera.&nbsp;The video was shot over three days in South Africa, an absorbing visual for a hypnotic track.

Long may that continue - but with me now, please."

A lone choirboy in his choral gown collects fragments of electronic equipment along mudflats in Broken Antenna's poignant video for Clark's Small.The track is taken from the electronic musician and soundtrack composer's latest album&nbsp;Playground In A Lake, released on classical label Deutsche Grammaphon, and features young Nathaniel Timoney on vocals - who plays the beachcoming choirboy&nbsp;in the video.Filmed in the Thames estuary, this is a tonal departure for the directing duo&nbsp;- that's&nbsp;Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby&nbsp;- compared to previous videos for&nbsp;Hak Baker and others. But the result is a&nbsp;distinctive vision of a Ballardian 'Drowned World' evoked in Clark's new album,&nbsp;with a splendid&nbsp;performance&nbsp;from their young lead.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

For their latest video for Hak Baker, Broken Antenna&nbsp;try something different: a mini-drama of a London wedding in the early 2000s, that brings white and black families together, shot entirely on Hi8.Hak and his band provide the entertainment as the wedding party in a local church hall gets into full swing - performing his latest ode, Venezuela Riddim. There's drinking, dancing and other stuff. Tempers fray, connections are made... and fans of Hak Baker's previous videos will not be surprised to learn that&nbsp;the charismatic troubadour&nbsp;is soon in the thick of it.&nbsp;This is&nbsp;a subtle change-up into drama for Broken Antenna - that's Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby&nbsp;- which&nbsp;they handle with aplomb. Everything feels right about it - the sizeable cast is pitch perfect, the use of the home video camera helps to deliver that sense of authenticity. And although the wedding is not genuine, the party probably is.An excellent addition to the Hak Baker canon by Broken Antenna, which includes&nbsp;the UKMVA-nominated <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/12/19/hak-baker-it-or-lump-it-broken-antenna/51088" target="_blank">Like It Or Lump It</a> and Wonderland.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Myles and Gus of Broken Antenna make a welcome return, bringing a trademark mash-up of live action and lo-fi visual effects to Japanese hipsters Yurufuwa Gang's woozy tour of London.With its disorientatingly slow frame rate and London-themed&nbsp;cut-out animation, it's a pretty-perfect encapsualtion of the band's rebellious attitude and aestethic for their scuzzy anthem No Visa.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hugh Rochfort's video for punk-jazz combo&nbsp;Melt Yourself Down is a frenzied and euphoric examination of society's outcasts and their refuges.Though all vastly different, the characters share an internalised claustrophobia, which is brought to light as they're not&nbsp;able to satisfy their natural desires, and their need to belong. They are consciously or unconsciously trying to shield their own spleen from the societal 'Boot'.Colourful and wacky, the video is relentlessly frenetic courtesy of the quickfire edit by Greg Hayes, allowing just enough time to catch your breath before it goes somewhere even wilder than before. The extensive use of closeups helps to portray the feeling of claustrophobia, the unusual camera angles adds to disorienting effect - pretty much perfect for the&nbsp;uncompromising Boot And Spleen.&nbsp;

Charlotte Regan’s latest work is a coming of age tale, touchingly told through the relationship between a father and daughter - played by Charlie Creed-Miles and Kasey Bentham.Regan’s love for human stories shines through in her video for Stereophonics' Fly Like An Eagle. In this, the connection between the characters feels raw and real – perfectly accompanying the track’s stripped back instrumentals.Franklin Dow's cinematography is naturalistic and unfussy, pulling all of the focus onto the story and characters, which helps things feel true to real life, and never forced in any way.It's a charming, inspirational piece of work, and will leave you feeling optimistic and hopeful. The song, a testament to overcoming life’s challenges, comes from Stereophonic’s latest album Kind.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Broken Antenna and Hak Baker have reunited, following the UKMVA-nominated <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/12/19/hak-baker-it-or-lump-it-broken-antenna/51088" target="_blank">Like It Or Lump It</a>,&nbsp;for the first single of his upcoming project, and it&#39;s a belter.&nbsp;Floating between real life and a dreamlike drunk utopia (the titular &#39;Wonderland&#39;), the viewer is treated to an insight into what happens on an average weekend for Hak and his mates. Essentially lots of drinking, and then everything else to follow...Graded in cinematic monotone tones to make the mundane occurances seem outwordly, it&#39;s arguably the best example yet of the talents of Broken Antenna (aka Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby), who have <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/news/2019/03/22/broken-antenna-join-knucklehead/57840" target="_blank">just signed to Knucklehead</a>.But probably the main reason to watch this is Hak Baker himself. He&#39;s a unique, searingly honest&nbsp;London voice, with on-screen charisma to burn.

Fanny Hoetzeneder&rsquo;s splendid promo for Adelphi Music Factory captures the rhythm, passion and joy at the heart of this fusion of gospel and house music through a constantly repeating&nbsp;sequence.We join a boy as he runs from his home, pounding past footballing mates through the streets and into the local Baptist church. He&#39;s running late for choir rehearsals,&nbsp;the Reverend glancing at his watch as the boy takes his seat and starts drumming.As the scenario repeats, scenes layer upon each other in an ever growing spiral of drumming, running and preaching. It&#39;s marvellous, and&nbsp;Fanny Hoetzeneder has&nbsp;created a video as upliftingly joyful as the song.&nbsp;Filmed on location in Sheffield over a weekend, the video for Javelin (Calling Out Your Name) features&nbsp;Rev. Daniel Anang and his teenage son Jeryhuda, in the roles of the Reverend and the running drummer respectively.&nbsp;Janine Dyer is the lead singer,&nbsp;and other singers and cast were drawn&nbsp;from the Cemetery Road Baptist Church, the New Testament Church, and Sheffield&rsquo;s Community Choir.&nbsp;

Charlotte Regan, recently named Shots Awards&rsquo; Young Director of the Year, shows exactly why she is so highly regarded in her new video for Wilkinson.&nbsp;It stars Thomas Turgoose of This Is England fame trying to make a connection with a girl who lives in his building. Negotiating numerous fellow residents along the way, and demonstrating his general good-egg qualities, Regan tells a story of a slowly budding romance from a single perspective. Everything takes place in the lift.&nbsp;What stands out is how Regan teases out the characters of her leads within a situation that, realistically enough, involves the rich tapestry of people who live in the building. And everyone else comes alive under her direction too. Impressive stuff.&nbsp; &nbsp;

They call it Heelwork - the extraordinary displays by dogs and their owners, which amount to extraordinary human and canine choreography.It&#39;s also a reflection of an unconditional love between these owners and their animals, and that is the true subject of Fanny Hoetzeneder&#39;s fascinating video for Love Is Magic - the first song released from John Grant&#39;s forthcoming fourth album.&nbsp;&nbsp;These are portraits of three champions of British Heelwork - Nicci, Sandra and Jill - and their dancing companions: Nala, Elsa, Leo, Fiz, Chelsey, Demelza and Matisse. A rather kitsch but beautiful world where the pervading emotion is happiness.

Hugh Rochfort has created a cinematic document of singer-songwriter James Smith performing his catchy&nbsp;soulful number Little Love.Shot in different formats, the video reflects the fierce&nbsp;dedication shown by Smith to his songwriting craft.&quot;It&rsquo;s not often you meet people as dedicated as James Smith and this song is about the sacrifice he has made for his work,&quot; says Rochfort. &quot;James locked himself away in his home studio, continuously writing, while his friends hung out. We wanted to make a video which represented his dedication and show what a killer performance he can deliver.&quot;
