The loneliness of life on the road is explored in&nbsp;Zhang + Knight's latest labour of love&nbsp;for Eden.Transporting a decaying plane across country on the back of a HGV, an ageing&nbsp;truck driver has more than enough time to meditate on his life and work. Location after location, the appeal of travelling has obviously faded as the driver looks for any distractions in the monotonous journey. The small things, such as new trails in the sky from a plane, or the animals running in front of the van on the road are given prime focus, the only novelty in the miles of countryside and terrain.&nbsp;Finishing off the journey at a scrap yard, the use of shots from inside the plane represent the idea that the vehicle has seen its heyday, and like every journey, this one has come to an end. Shot in&nbsp;Kazakhstan for 5 days on 35mm, the visuals are&nbsp;breathtaking and beautifully composed, giving the concept a charming yet wistful vibe.

Eden 'Love, Death, Distraction' by Zhang + Knight

Stormzy rules a dystopian industrial world in Taz Tron Delix's video for Audacity.&nbsp;Riding on top of a HGV as it piles down a foggy motorway, the message is clear: Stormzy is done playing games, and is calling out the audacity of those who doubt his worth.&nbsp;With slick shots of fire-swept concrete wastelands, strobing performance setups and burning piles of cash, the visual is a statement and a warning. Stormzy isn't going anywhere, so it's time to pay him the respect he deserves.&nbsp;With brilliant production values and talent across the creative team, this is a real standout among the year's releases, just before we enter the next decade.&nbsp;

Taz Tron Delix has set down a marker with his tremendous video for Kojey Radical&#39;s 25.It&#39;s an impressionistic, sprawling epic, reflecting on black culture, with the beautifully composed visuals aiming to do justice to the range of ideas&nbsp;in Kojey Radical&#39;s music and lyrics. Building upon his work in recent times&nbsp;the lower profile rapper Oscar Worldpeace, it&#39;s an ambitious statement by Delix and, with sterling assistance from his cinematographer Ruben Woodin-Dechamps, a triumph.

Oscar Hudson&rsquo;s marvellous video for Loyle Carner manages to do something extremely rare these days &ndash; it references the old masters of music video direction, and then extends that vocabulary of visual wonder and make the seemingly impossible happen before your eyes.It begins in lo-fi home video mode, with Carner dozing on a crowded commuter train, before appearing alone in a luxurious express train &ndash; before the huge face of guest singer Jordan Rakei appears in the window. What we think is VFX trickery is in-camera trickery. And from that point on, we&rsquo;re in a train carriage with the Carner and Rakei and fellow passengers, that is constantly changing, even though the position of the camera never moves&hellip;It&rsquo;s certainly possible to describe this visual treat as Gondryesque. It is, but this is no imitation. Its pure Oscar Hudson. As well as bamboozling trickery, there are visual jokes that you won&#39;t get on first viewing. And the subject of the songtitle Ottolenghi is in the video too &ndash; famous chef Yotam Ottolenghi is the ticket collector&hellip;Within in all, Loyle Carner gives another terrific performance here &ndash; and then there&rsquo;s the price of his train ticket from East Croydon to London Bridge. Mindblowing stuff![imgtoken data:1]

Zhang + Knight launched their music video directing career with a video for London-based rapper ATO. Now they reunite with this ambitious&nbsp;epic that spans generations, takes us from English countryside to the city and back, and&nbsp;explores&nbsp;the idea of identity through a combination of myth&nbsp;and cold reality.It starts on Dartmoor, with a boy discovering the giant stone&nbsp;head of an ancient black English king buried under the moor. The&nbsp;discovery comes to define his whole identity, as the legend of the king grows.But as the boy grows into a man, and becomes ATO, he comes to realise that his recollections of the stone head actually&nbsp;stem from his childish imagination. His biggest discovery is really about himself.&nbsp;

New Pulse signing Paco Raterta follows up his thrlling video for Gaika with a real top-notch horror show for GRAVEDGR.Raterta's nerve-shredding homage to the slasher genre features the requisite&nbsp;relentless psychopathic killer- this one marked out by his unusual (but highly appropriate) weapon: a gravedigger's spade.His&nbsp;killing spree is played out in the classic and super-stylish fashion of a John Carpenter movie, with the emphasis on action rather than fear. Perfect thrills for GRAVEDGR's blood-pumping Rampage.&nbsp;

Taz Tron Delix&#39;s new video for Samm Henshaw is a playful take on relationships, with a very sunny London as his fantasy playground.Shot on 16mm film by Ruben Woodin-Dechamps, Samm observes the larger than characters around him, some who are finding out how it feels to be loved. Then Samm gets a better view by floating off his sofa (has Taz also been watching Supergrass&#39;s&nbsp;Alright?) into the sky. It&#39;s basically a feelgood delight from start to finish.

James Whitby documents Moroccan teenage stunt bikers the Anfa Riders for Gengahr.Referring to themselves as stunteurs, the Casablanca-based Anfa Riders have found their own take on the #bikelife movement with the help of a national glut of cheap import mopeds.&nbsp;They gather in huge groups on the outskirts of the city, away from the authorities who confiscate their bikes on sight.Whitby&#39;s absorbing video for Gengahr&#39;s Before Sunrise is a fanastic snapshot of their universe. As he says, &quot;it&#39;s a celebration of the sense of freedom and weightlessness that we seem to lose as we get older &ndash; found in a corner of the world where you might not think to look.&quot;

Oscar Hudson&#39;s first full-length video for Radiohead arrives hot on the heels of his video for Young Martha, and it&#39;s another superb setpiece, that considering the name of the song, was just asking to be made.Thom Yorke embarks on one of the most surreal lift rides ever, and in the process taps into our anxiety about and the alienating effects of high-rise living. As with Hudson&#39;s previous work, like Bonobo&#39;s No Reason and <a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/09/11/young-thug-carnage-young-martha-ft-meek-mill-homie-oscar-hudson" target="_blank">aforementioned Young Martha video</a>,&nbsp;this is very largely executed&nbsp;in-camera.All the scenes beyond the doors of the elevator&nbsp;are there, for real &ndash; only the lift display and buttons were added in post&nbsp;- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BY_H_JCjbqr/" target="_blank">an ingenious piece of design and organisation,</a> and exemplary work by production designer&nbsp;Luke Moran-Morris, art director Mia James and their team. A&nbsp;very satisfying experience.

Daniel Brereton directs a procession of the decorated and the bizarre in this cool clip for Sundara Karma.As far as subgenres of music videos go, I'd rank&nbsp;cool funerals&nbsp;pretty highly. The Kills had the market cornered on it recently with their 2016 video for Doing It To Death&nbsp;dripping with cool &nbsp;– but now Sundara Karma have a pretty good shot at the crown with&nbsp;Explore.&nbsp;Shot on 16mm on a sunny day in Abney Park cemetery, Stoke Newington,&nbsp;the procession sees the band and a cast of misfits put someone to rest, and look damn good doing it.Identical twins, lovers, an iguana, an amazing looking hearse and the band performing in between graves makes for a dreamy clip, as Ruben Woodin-Deschamps' gorgeously composed shots slowly creep in and out of one another.

Declan McKenna gets the Taz Tron Delix treatment with a psychedelic journey into space, a fish tank and beyond.The performance video is a glorious retro-futurist&nbsp;colour collage, with trippy transitions and psychedelic scenery galore. The clip pulls off a wonderful marriage between the in-camera and post-production aesthetics (by Ruben Woodin Deschamps and Taz Tron Delix&nbsp;respectively), blending the two seamlessly whilst giving each a life of its own.
