MILTON directs a stirring promo for South London synth-rock band PVA -&nbsp;shot on the move in&nbsp;Corsica and Luxembourg during the group's&nbsp;European tour. &nbsp;Taking place in an undisclosed industrial location, the video is experimental and spontaneous, intercutting&nbsp;haunting snapshots and strobe-lit performance,&nbsp;and creates a captivating atmosphere.&nbsp;"We had very little resources at our disposal which made the creative process more challenging," says MILTON. "However this lead to a playful result of portraying a dystopic all consuming night out."[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Bailey Tom Bailey explores an obscure&nbsp;underground gambling ring in his promo for Folly Group.&nbsp;The video for&nbsp;I Raise You (The Price Of Your Head) starts normally enough - with a simple performance in a gloomy garage - but when two of the band members decapitate the other pair, things start to go South.The two heads are pitted against each other, forced bite and fight their way out of the situation, until the tables are turned.&nbsp;With a deadpan vibe and hilarious performances, the video is an amusing yet&nbsp;absurd&nbsp;way to spend four minutes - and the music is pretty damn good too.&nbsp;

BWTV directs an evocative promo for Bonobo's Shadows, featuring Jordan Rakei, focusing on abstract imagery and graphics.&nbsp;Exploring the power of memory and everyday experience through patterns, shadow and light, the video transcends a traditional structure, instead focusing on repetitive sequences and brief, fleeting moments in time.[imgtoken data:1]"Shadows are reflections of ourselves, our movements, whims, wants and urges - like memories happening in the present; like scars that leave no mark," comment Liam Achaibou and Ryan Vernava - aka BWTV. "They are a creeping measure of passing moments: alive, immediate and fleeting. They stretch and bend to the world around them and they thicken and fade as the days roll on."We wanted to make a video that meditates on these ideas; using found captured and created material to investigate the patterns and visual metaphors that emerge as we experimented with the footage."Using the emotional language of the shadow we began to build sequences and patterns reminiscent of how one might compose a multitrack piece of music. Layers, lots of layers..." &nbsp;

Rudá Santos's video for Ross From Friends,&nbsp;for the electronic DJ’s new single The Daisy,&nbsp;blends a reverence for speed-cubing competitions and a bittersweet twist worthy of a sci-fi classic.We are transported through a trippy time-warp to an unassuming park, where a young girl discovers a Rubik’s Cube and a timer on a bench. Her passion for ‘speed-cubing’ ignited, we then follow her on a journey where she works to master her skills.Our young heroine progresses to a speed-cubing competition,&nbsp;battling through to reach her goal in time. As she wins the competition, however, viewers are confronted with a surreal twist...&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Blending an admiration for speed-cubing&nbsp;with the unexpected ending, Rudá Santos also employed 3D animated sequences to bookend the film and reinforce the sci-fi elements. In order to capture authentic, realistic performances, he also chose to cast real Rubik’s Cubers in the promo - including Katie Mouchan-Davies as the main protagonist.

Denisha Anderson directs a powerful state-of-the-nation vision of inner-city London to accompany the towering collaboration of those veterans of dance and grime, The Bug and Flowdan.The video to Pressure - the second single from The Bug's new album&nbsp;Fire&nbsp;-&nbsp;begins with an intro scene designed by Anderson to reflect the opening lyrics,&nbsp;in which we see distorted images of&nbsp;Boris Johnson and Priti Patel&nbsp;and crowds protesting,&nbsp;before cutting to Flowdan. His powerful performance is delivered against the backdrop of brutalist architecture, creating the feeling of being boxed-in within the harsh concrete setting. Eventually he takes over the screens previously monopolised by politicians and protest footage.[imgtoken data:1]Anderson intersects Flowdan's down-the-barrel performance with shots of the him and The Bug on the staircase of an inner London tower block, and&nbsp;of an urban landscape bereft of people - with the exception of two characters running away from camera, as if from an unseen threat.The video was shot across East and South London in a day, with the intense edit that follows perfectly complementing the track. The result, from the director with videos for Oscar Jerome and Wu-Lu to her credit,&nbsp;is something that feels both contemporary and timeless.[imgtoken data:2]“The claustrophobic energy was used to give space to those in estates, living upon one another and repeatedly ignored by those in power,” explains Anderson. “In choosing these locations, Flowdan becomes the voice of the people."Hence the reason for him taking over TV screens, because now is the time to listen... '...Wait for the revolution but the revolution can’t start, We affi go bludclart start it.'"

Martyn Thomas directs an impressive animated promo for Dutch DJ and producer&nbsp;Sander van Dijck - aka&nbsp;San Holo.&nbsp;The visual for Black And White is made up of thousands of 2D rotoscoped frames, starts as a series of simplistic line drawings, before exploding into a succession of breathtaking collage images, packed full of texture and colour.&nbsp;A tremendous visual feat, the craftsmanship evident in each moment is awe-inspiring, and the concept as a whole reflects the yearning soundscapes in the track. And remarkably,&nbsp;Thomas completed the whole job to an eye-wateringly tight two-week deadline.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;

A girl is trapped in a traumatic spiral, in David Bertram's fascinating promo for Bicep.&nbsp;Exploring themes of family relationships, adolescence and guilt, the innovative video for Saku depicts a girl running away from her home to meet friends, before becoming stuck in a perpetual loop.&nbsp;The striking performances are matched by the mind-boggling structure of the video - a single take, marshalled by DoP&nbsp;Pat Aldinger, repeated in motion control, which transforms the apartment block staircase&nbsp;into an awkwardly undefined space with no discernable way out.&nbsp;This is a true gem, endlessly engaging and a perfect fit to the otherworldly soundscapes in the track.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Mark Jenkin directs a beautifully abstract vision for Bicep's Apricots.&nbsp;Building upon the track's focus on repetition and tempo, the video doesn't follow a traditional structure, instead using impressionist-style visuals and DIY techniques to achieve the final result.&nbsp;Transcendent and thought-provoking, the concept feels timeless, borrowing aspects of various styles and ideas from the past and present to create something brilliantly unique yet familiar.&nbsp;

Just in case you have been yearning to return to office life, Swedish directing collective Stylewar are on hand to remind you of the dystopian horror that awaits, in their brilliant video for Bronson - created, of course, entirely in lockdown.The video for the DJ/producer's Keep Moving has been&nbsp;entirely created by stock footage - super-bright, super-idealised&nbsp;images of the delights of the corporate world - rendered strange, ominous and downright loopy&nbsp;by Stylewar's disruptive take on visual effects.While we start in the perfection of the stock footage world, Bronson's beats then break through the banality of the daily commute, the 9-to-5, the daily conference and Powerpoint presentation. The laws of physics are broken,&nbsp;tables and chairs and people all tumble to the rhythm as things descend into mayhem and madness. And Stylewar also manage to pay tribute to one of the iconic images of classic rock - the flaming businessman on the cover of Pink Floyd's album Wish You Were Here.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, Stylewar did more invisible tampering of the original footage&nbsp;to create their satirical version of office&nbsp;life than is immediately evident. The collective worked with&nbsp;longtime collaborator editor, Noah Herzog, to unearth the perfect stock footage to use as the spine of their brilliant satire. After sourcing the appropriate material, they shot matching close-ups of mouths that are lip-syncing the lyrics.&nbsp;They also built the offices in full CG that matched the look of the stock footage.In the same way that Darwin Deez's presence disrupts the perfection of idealised stock imagery in Keith Schofield's brilliant video for You Can't Be My Girl, Stylewar have created a subversive visual masterpiece but with the additional layer of satire. That makes for one of the most creative, thought-provoking and enjoyable music videos made during lockdown.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Chris Saunders celebrates a decade of Little Dragon in the video for Where You Belong.&nbsp;Utilising over ten years of documentation, shot by the band and filmmaker Pether Lindgren, the footage was collected and curated over a two month period, and edited during the restrictions of lockdown.&nbsp;Spanning a multitude of memories and snapshots of everyday moments, the visual is interweaved with a new live performance, that was remotely directed by Saunders.&nbsp;The edit style is high-energy and colourful, layering footage in quirky and unique ways. A spattering of lo-fi VFX and rotoscoping creates an artistic and abstract aesthetic, that works perfectly within the celebratory concept. It's intended to feel fragmented, as if within the mind's eye of the band members, and takes us through a visceral replay of Little Dragon's story and memories.

A woman discovers the light and power she holds inside herself,&nbsp;in Balázs Simon's incredible visual for Heart Attack.&nbsp;Following the exploration of plastic and its effect on our planet in his last video - for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/04/30/leifur-james-angel-disguise-bal%C3%A1zs-simon/64612">Leifur James' Angel In Disguise</a>&nbsp;- Simon is back with a multi-format meditation on our own belief systems.&nbsp;Spanning live-action, motion capture, CGI and 2D animation, the video depicts a woman struggling against a wind tunnel of intense light, battling the debris that has broken from the dark underworld in which she lives. As other residents look on, she transcends her physical limitations to become one with her destiny, walking on as a part of the universal light.&nbsp;It's beautiful and multi-layered work from a director (and creative team) who are making a habit of pushing the boundaries of the music video&nbsp;format.&nbsp;

What if all those voices inside your head became visible?
