Maxine Peake plays a woman who retreats to her hotel room to sink into alcoholic despair, in Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard&#39;s new video for Ex:Re, the solo project of Elena Tonra, lead singer of&nbsp;Daughter.While Tonra appears on the room&#39;s TV screen, watching her as she performs her song The Dazzler, Peake - brilliant in so many TV dramas and movies, from Shameless to the David Slade-directed Black Mirror episode <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xejjA2AFO5I" target="_blank">Metalhead</a>&nbsp;&ndash; gives a characteristically powerful performance as a woman apparently driven to self-destruction.The video was shot at the Town Hall Hotel in East London - which becomes The Dazzler depicted in Tonra&#39;s lyrics. It&#39;s a reunion with the singer for the directing duo, who created a triptych of videos for Daughter&#39;s&nbsp;second album Not To Disappear.&nbsp;Forysth and Pollard were&nbsp;inspired by Alfred Hitchcock&rsquo;s iconic movie Vertigo, infusing this piece with a&nbsp;muted colour palette to reflect their character&#39;s&nbsp;spiralling inward journey.&nbsp;And then ending on a jolting moment of surrealism.

Ex:Re 'The Dazzler' by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard

Ex:Re - The Dazzler

It&#39;s Take That, but not quite as you&#39;ve ever seen them before.Mike Baldwin sends Gary, Mark and Howard through a&nbsp;hyperreal mishmash of visual styles, throws them a few instruments and, bingo - he&#39;s made a rollicking video for Out Of Our Heads, with a&nbsp;lighthearted, Sixties psycheledia-lite vibe.The guys, particularly Gary, buy into this lighthearted family-friendly&nbsp;version of befuddlement. And the feeling that this could have&nbsp;popped from an old TV show, like The Monkees, is emphasised&nbsp;by their brief appearance in cartoon form. Maybe they could be the new Gorillaz...

Joe Connor heralds the return of Mumford &amp; Sons by capturing a real&nbsp;event and transforming it into a beautifully-crafted music video.The band invited a couple of hundred fans to the banks of the Thames, to listen and sing along to Guiding Light, the first track released from Mumfords&#39; new album Delta. Then the band set up in front of Tate Modern to perform the song.In a multi-camera shoot,&nbsp;superbly edited by Chris Roebuck, Connor captures the genuine joy and warmth, and bond between band and audience,&nbsp;at a very special communal gathering.&nbsp;&nbsp;

KT Tunstall returns with her sixth album and a surprising makeover from her classic rock-folk persona of the previous five.Swathed in dark robes, and captured in moody black and white, KT has been transformed into a veritable pop diva by Alexo Wandael. And not only that, she&#39;s dancing.Arguably channeling some Kate Bush and Madonna from Frozen (the Chris Cunningham video, that is), KT is engaged in a sensual, downright sexy pas de deux with chiselled, six-packed partner Alex Thomas.It&#39;s a very stylish as well as audacious new image direction, orchestrated by Wandael, an&nbsp;architect-turned-art-and-fashion photographer, who is now turning his hand to music video direction. On this showing, a future in the field is there for the taking.

KT Tunstall 'The River' by Alexo Wandael

KT Tunstall - The River

Shot in Mexico and London, the new White Lies video&nbsp;by the Mexican director David Pablos takes us to the same place - the bedroom. But what happens there is not entirely what we might expect.&nbsp;With a variety of pairings (and more) Pablos explores the human condition - sleeping, waking up, showing a variety of emotions - from tenderness to&nbsp;thoughtfulness to coldness. Ultimately, as White Lies singer Harry McVeigh joins the cast,&nbsp;the mood is melancholic and reflective rather than arousing.One for the head rather than anywhere else, and very nicely done.

Urban Strom directs Ward Thomas&#39; autumnal video for Cartwheels&nbsp;which sees a ballerina dance her way through central London on a cold autumn day.Mixing more built-up urban landscapes with parks basking in a crisp autumnal sunshine, and a minimalist performance from Ward Thomas, Strom&#39;s video is a subtle dance film that allows the choreography room to tell its story.

Oliver Hadlee Pearch has taken a decidedly visceral approach to his music video for&nbsp;Palace&#39;s Head Above The Water.&nbsp;Dealing with the nervy&nbsp;physicality of the&nbsp;human body and all its twitches, spasms, and other instinctive bodily processes,&nbsp;the piece effectively&nbsp;creates a hypnotic series of close-up portraits, in which&nbsp;something doesn&#39;t appear to be quite right with its&nbsp;subjects.Insisting on suffocating&nbsp;imagery such as&nbsp;a human statue in a bag being sucked of its air, and a&nbsp;man laid out on a table struggling to breathe, it&#39;s&nbsp;pairing with the sleepy, somewhat melancholic&nbsp;melodies of Head Above The Water&nbsp;makes for an the existential watch, reminding us of our fleshy, corporeal&nbsp;impermanence.&nbsp;&ldquo;When you are swept up by a wave, you are caught underwater, not knowing which way is up or down, left or right. This was sort of the starting point for this video. This idea of confusion. Concussion even,&quot; Oliver told&nbsp;Noisey, where the video was premiered last week.&nbsp;&quot;Dreams played a big part in this film. How many different scenes can sit side by side harmoniously. I wanted to try and create mini-narratives which all lead the same way yet are completely removed from each other. Tied together. Across the video we want the audience to be hypnotized, drawn in yet not knowing why or how.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Essex indie fourpiece The Bohicas find themeselves dropped into a surreal operating theatre in Nathan David Smith&#39;s promo for their new single To Die For.&nbsp;Shot at One Red Eye Studio, it&#39;s dark,&nbsp;occasionally grisly, and comic - and made all the more effective by&nbsp;Marcus Autelli&#39;s clean - almost sterile - photography...
