Commercial directing duo Nott Brothers release their first ever music video, for cult favourites Henge.&nbsp;The video&nbsp;for Wanderlust features&nbsp;a psychedelic romp through a mysterious library, and places the band -&nbsp;kitted out in full alien regalia - at the centre of a comedic mystery.&nbsp;The bizarre affair is punctuated by strobing lights, eclectic costume design and eccentric art direction, and is the polar opposite to any expectation you might have from a library visit.&nbsp;Simultaneously playful and surreal, the video feels like Dr Who on acid, and carefully treads the line between good times and a nightmarish hallucination.&nbsp;“We wanted to encapsulate the band’s on-stage presence, and situate it within a cinematic narrative,” Nott Brothers explain. “The film was a real labour of love, and made for a very long day of shooting!”

Niall Trask directs a Lord Of The Flies-inspired promo for DC Gore.&nbsp;In the video for I Like You, we see the artist lead a dishevelled bunch of brass instrument-playing kids, as they collect the remains of their crash-landed aircraft from Pett Level beach, in East Sussex.&nbsp;The enigmatic video cuts between their present situation - trying their best to survive and get help - and the moments leading up to the crash, creating a heightened, tense atmosphere that lingers until the final moment.&nbsp;

Director Jack Turner&nbsp;takes us on a&nbsp;psychedelic journey in his new promo for Alfie Templeman.The video for Broken opens with Templeman at a vending machine, ordering an action figure of himself, before viewers are lead&nbsp;into a colourful, whimsical world from a rather downsized perspective.&nbsp;Tying into the concept of his debut album&nbsp;Mellow Moon, the set pieces are spacey, dreamlike and vibrant, and his playful performance invites us into a carefree world which echoes the jaunty track.

Balan Evans directs a contemplative&nbsp;promo for White Lies.&nbsp;Filmed entirely from the ground looking up, the unique vantage point mirrors the perspective of an injured person laid out on the floor, in-keeping with the themes of the track.&nbsp;Though a little morbid in tone, the visuals are surprisingly playful and tongue in cheek - an impatient lawyer getting a signature during&nbsp;the character's dying breaths feels uncomfortably life-like.&nbsp;The concept cycles through a handful of setups, building an essence of a narrative around the imagery, but the lingering questions - e.g. who is this man and why is he on the floor dying - make for a suspenseful, engaging watch.&nbsp;

White Lies 'Am I Really Going To Die' by Balan Evans

White Lies - Am I Really Going To Die

Niall Trask creates an impressionistic documentary about match day at Dublin football club Shelbourne FC, for Irish artist David Balfe, aka For Those I Love.For the video for To Have You, Trask captures the place, the club, and the people who make it and are connected to it, on black and white Kodak 16mm film. This is a world away from the glamour of the English Premier League and the Euros. but with its incisive camerawork, Trask covers a thrilling game and much more besides - particularly&nbsp;the passion and pride of players and fans alike.[imgtoken data:1]"The trip out to the football can feel like a pilgrimage," says Balfe. "Every mix of bliss and pain and glory is felt in the terraces each week, but it's been lost for us all since the world changed overnight. Being back in the stands as 'To Have You' was shot felt like a shower of relief and beauty, and I can't thank Niall enough for his vision and understanding of what it all means."The track is very much about survival, reflecting on a world me and mine grew up through and confronting those who question it. I am blessed to be able to hear this in a new light now as it's mixed with Niall's art."

First time director Joe Jeffreys weaves a sensual story for fabled electronic artist Stumbleine.The&nbsp;one-shot promo captures a moment at the end of a night partying,&nbsp;where&nbsp;a young woman tries&nbsp;to win back the one she loves, though the medium of dance.As the camera glides through the space, we fall in and out of different colour states, experiencing&nbsp;the heightened emotions of our two dancers until their shades finally intertwine.Shot on location inside the hallowed Old Street Records in East London, the visual cleverly combines dramatic performance with choreographed movement, resulting in a fresh perspective on the dance film concept.&nbsp;

Niall Trask brings a vintage feel, and a hint of a nautical ghost story,&nbsp;in his atmospheric video for&nbsp;Nadine Shah's Trad.&nbsp;Shah plays the captain and sole crew of a vessel at sea - who is also evidently&nbsp;a bride. And it turns out she is not alone.&nbsp;The abstract imagery has a hint of a narrative, just enough to tease viewers into their own readings of the concept, but it's very much open to interpretation.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Rob Jarvis brings a gritty and textured style to the aesthetic, paying homage to vintage cinema with the film stock and traditional lighting setups.&nbsp;Deeply visceral in a somewhat understated way, the haunting concept and isolated location help elevate the sense of drama&nbsp;and mystery, highlighting&nbsp;Trask's skill in building suspense through character.[imgtoken data:1]

Connor O'Hara experiments with wildly different perspectives&nbsp;in his latest video for Che Lingo.&nbsp;The promo for South jumps from air to land, and catching glimpses of South London from unique vantage points.&nbsp;The aspirational, introspective vignettes are masterfully weaved together through clever transitions and dynamic visual effects, and the abstract cinematography mirrors the artist's sense of boundless energy.&nbsp;"The idea was to do a total departure from my last video with Che for Dark Days," says O'Hara.&nbsp;"We wanted to make this a homage to where we both live - South London -&nbsp;by seeing it through his perspective as well as through his 'Daemons':&nbsp;a mouse&nbsp;and a macaw."We dive through each of their retinas, seeing moments from Che's past alongside their differing perspectives of South."<blockquote>We wanted to see South London&nbsp;through Che's perspective - and through his 'Daemons' - a mouse and a macaw.</blockquote>

In his seriously intense promo for Manchester duo The Tenfivesixty, Michael Pearce takes us into a twisted world of ultra-violence focusing on a couple in need of some serious counseling.
Compelling, un-nerving and very dark, the couple are played by Tenfivesixty band members Rik Hornby and Jen Bailey, who live in a laboratory of mutual violence, observed by a lo-fi video camera. Firstly Jen undergoes the dinner from hell - being eating broken glass, apples laced with razor blades and cakes full of nails. And then things get really bad...
