Eoin Glaister reunites with Glass Animals with his first video for the band since 2017 - and takes their band's fans down a complex&nbsp;a complex conspiracy rabbit hole courtesy of YouTuber TinFoilPat.The video is for&nbsp;The Other Side of Paradise,&nbsp;originally released on the How To Be A Human Being album and now revived to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the album - which also featured Pork Soda and Agnes, which have Glaister-directed videos. It features TinFoilPat as a superfan of the band, revealing to his Youtube community about the&nbsp;rumour that lead singer&nbsp;Dave Bayley has been replaced by a clone (or clones). And then follows his mission to uncover 'the truth'.[imgtoken data:1]The band were not available to feature in the music video, so Glaister has employed various techniques to build his narrative. Firstly he chose to lean on archive footage from their iconic concert at Red Rocks, and construct a narrative arc that starts with the moment Dave sang “my thunder shook him down” in perfect sync with real-life thunder.&nbsp;Then he sourced further on-stage clips, TikTok cutaways, generative AI, choreography and a mouse-and-cat dynamic, to create a trail of clues for TinFoilPat to uncover.The music video is also sprinkled with subtle Glass Animals fandom trivia and even features real-life moments like TinFoilPat infiltrating the Universal Music London office or calling up the front desk to accuse them of “being in” on the hoax.[imgtoken data:2]<blockquote>It felt like a full circle moment, creating promos for the album again.</blockquote>Glaister says that the fact the band were unavailable for the shoot prompted the clone idea.&nbsp;“I'd been watching TikToks with my sisters and was really taken with all the fanfare and conspiracy theories surrounding Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears and I love how ropey all of that evidence is," he explains. "They were vehicles to kick start thinking for this project. [And] the narrative that was constructed with the archive footage means that I could blend facts and fiction in a silly way, which I’m really into.[imgtoken data:3]“This is the third job I've done for Glass Animals, which means I've earned some trust with them; it’s useful for running with a really, really bizarre idea like this one. It felt like a full circle moment, creating promos for the album again.”

Dexter Navy presents how Sampha is touched with a special kind of magic in the video for Only.The acclaimed singer-songwriter begins bending reality when&nbsp;he studies a book titled LAHAI - the name of his forthcoming, long-awaited second album - and then ponders his reflection. When he ventures into the outside world he finds himself capable of all kinds of otherworldly powers, sometimes struggling to control them.A number of magical moments arrive in an understated fashion - which seems a perfectly pitched visual metaphor for Sampha's talent. And it makes it more impressive with every viewing.

Charlie Di Placido demonstrates his command of shooting dance performance, with an&nbsp;absorbing promo for Steven Wilson.&nbsp;Following the exceptional longform project for Jungle's new album Volcano, the video for Wilson's Economies Of Scale plays to Di Placido's strengths in choreographed concepts and awe-inspiring one-takes, and boasts an elevated, emotional experience from the first frame, featuring powerful performances from the two dancers,&nbsp;Sasha Shadid and Salomé Pressac.&nbsp;The concept was centred around the album artwork, and builds on it in an enigmatic, completely captivating way - as Di Placido explains.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"One of my favourite videos of the year," he says. "It's always such a privilege when an artist has the bravery to give you such scope in terms of how you approach a visual and to allow me to hero these incredible dancers."Sasha Shadid and Salomé Pressac gave such inspired performances and the end result is a real moment in time captured. I wanted to play with the audience expectations on who these characters are and their roles in the Economies of Scale within society, as it were.[imgtoken data:2]"The object which is based around the album artwork is a mystical force which has had a profound effect on our 'business man' played by Sasha. He struggles with it as it forces him to question his place within our narrative in the hall of this grand old building."The nature of the location and small nods in the art direction, a discarded red briefcase, are there to gently guide the viewer to what might be at play here. Sasha is being forced to confront his role within a system which is not in line with his true spirit.[imgtoken data:3]"Salomé's character goes through a mini three part metamorphosis as she watches Sasha's opening freestyle before she takes center stage. These are comments on how women are forced to represent themselves within society. Her final form, her true self is bare footed, almost feral and she's made an outfit out of business men's ties."Sasha &amp; Salomé come together as they are both overcome with a deep longing for the freedom this object provides. The final message 'All Times Leaves Is Me And You' ties back into Steven's original brief for what this song means, namely that your personal connections and the love you have for you nearest and dearest should supercede any attempt to win a rat race because they're the only thing that is real."

As England prepare for the big one&nbsp;- the Women's World Cup Final - some of the most enduring female stars in British music and breakthrough female talent have come together to create Call Me A Lioness, accompanied by an uplifting 'chant video' of England fans directed by Pip + Lib.Featuring Melanie C, Self Esteem, Ellie Rowsell (Wolf Alice), Al Greenwood (Sports Team), Marika Hackman, Rachel Chinouriri, Shura, Jasmine Jethwa, Rose Gray, Highlyy, and co-writer Olivia Dean, they build a musical squad of 11 artists named Hope FC, in tribute to legendary England football player, coach and manager Hope Powell and representing 'Hope For Change'Call Me A Lioness&nbsp;is raising money for women’s football charities Football Beyond Borders, Street Soccer, Girls United and Manchester Laces. Supporting grassroots girls and women’s football, all whilst celebrating the incredible team who have made it all the way to the Final of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup on Sunday (August 20th).[imgtoken data:1]"As soon as we heard the track, we felt this kick towards doing a chant," say Pip + Lib.&nbsp;"We wanted to create something that captures even 1% of what it feels like like to be watching the games in stadiums, pubs, flats. It’s a fan film about fans. "The chant is made up from the chorus of Call Me A Lioness, and is sung in every which kind of way. Quiet, loud, out of tune, harmonised. Cast entirely from real football fans; families, builders, queer couples, grassroot teams, lads on lime bikes, NHS nurses, uber drivers and even the local ice cream van man Ali! It was important to us to cast a true picture of the fans; everyone is behind the Lionesses this World Cup and we wanted to put a lens to that."It was an incredibly precious project, which required blind faith that people would turn up to empty pub, trust that people chanting completely out of time would sound any good, and above all making something deserving of women’s football fans. Let’s celebrate women’s football fans more!"

Joanna Nordahl directs a horror movie-themed music video for Ashnikko, recruiting Sweden's top cheerleading squad for an irresistible combination of&nbsp;Bring It On and Midsommar.The video for Cheerleader takes viewers on a haunting journey into the deep, dark woods of southern Sweden. Oozing with energy and&nbsp;unsettlingly hypnotic scenes,&nbsp;Ashnikko and her cult of dancers challenge modern beauty standards and the expectation of femininity through the male gaze with cut-throat gestures, uninhibited choreography, and powerful lyrics. To quote directly: "I’m not a girl, I’m a swarm of bees."Also, Cheerleader does feature proper cheerleading. In fact, Ash's posse are the&nbsp;Swedish National Cheerleading Team.Another mesmerising Ashnikko video ahead of her long-awaited debut album WEEDKILLER - out on August 25th.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jax Jones and Fireboy DML coast along the London skyline - quite literally - in KC Locke's ambitious promo for Me and My Guitar.&nbsp;Soaring high above the city streets in a Bentley, we follow the artists on a celebratory lap of the airspace, intermittently switching to a high fashion performance vignette to keep things fresh.&nbsp;An eye-catching marriage of concept, performance and VFX, with a joyous, upbeat vibe to boot.[imgtoken data:1]"Loved working with Jax Jones on our first collaboration together!" says KC Locke.&nbsp;"Bringing my style to the concept of rags to riches showing a young Jax and young Fireboy dreaming of a better life and then transitioning to a bright future. Dream big and go make it happen is the motto.&nbsp;"Really enjoyed pushing the rules on this one.&nbsp;Having a Bentley fly over London was a logistical challenge between the car being lifted high in the air by a crane and having the artists sat on the floating car safely.&nbsp;Really happy with the results and big love to the whole team."&nbsp;

James Blake's surprising switch back to his dance music roots&nbsp;heralds the very welcome return to music videos by Oscar Hudson, fully exploiting&nbsp;Blake's new direction with a brilliantly nihilistic, sexy, beautifully made live action cartoon for Big Hammer.Hudson's video follows the exploits of a stylish, devil-may-care criminal gang, as they crash their car into various buildings during an ongoing crime spree - or simply to have a spot of lunch - mainly from the perspective of the dash-cam, which eventually assumes a life of its own.As with quite a few of the standout videos this year, it comes with a vague aura of nostalgia attached. it would certainly have been a great watch on old school MTV. And definitely to be enjoyed, for full explosive and comic effect,&nbsp;on the biggest screen you can find.As becoming a former Best Director winner at the UKMVAs (twice), it's probably one of the videos of the year so far.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;
