Sophie Muller directs an effervescent and emotional video&nbsp;for Zella Day, introducing the Arizona-born singer to the wonders and weirdness of the&nbsp;English countryside with typical panache.&nbsp;Shot over two days at Puzzlewood in the Forest Of Dean and&nbsp;Pen Moel Estate, the video for Mushroom Punch weaves together several creative vignettes, featuring Day running through landscapes and clawing her way through a luxurious&nbsp;Victorian manor house.[imgtoken data:1]Muller teams up again with DoP Robbie Ryan for this characteristically stylish showcase for the artist, confidently introducing experimental ideas in the cinematography and editing.It captures the intimate vibes of the track whilst keeping viewers on their toes with perpetually shifting imagery - and above all giving scope for a committedly intense performance from the compelling Zella Day.&nbsp;

Douglas Hart and Steve Mackey - the former Pulp bassist-turned director -&nbsp;direct a grungy promo for Hot Chip's return with Down.&nbsp;The video is a lo-fi&nbsp;affair, blending gritty textures, abstract imagery and distorted layers of oversaturated footage.&nbsp;Paying homage to early music video experimentation, the compelling performances are contrasted against unusual, seemingly unrelated vignettes, which seem more inspired by the industrial beat than any lyrical content. It's all brought together in a terrific, kinetically-driven edit by Thomas Goldser.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Hot Chip 'Down' by Douglas Hart, Steve Mackey 

Hot-Chip--'Down'-by-Douglas-Hart,steve-Mackey-

George Moir is the ice cream van man with his own weird, wonderful range of ice lollies, in George McCallum's video for Patio - arguably the staycation anthem of the summer.The&nbsp;West Country-based singer-songwriter's sweet,&nbsp;catchy song will ring true with nearly everyone this year - it's all about not being able to go on a foreign holiday, and having to make the best of it at&nbsp;home. Instead, its about working (mostly), and saving&nbsp;up 'to go next summer'.[imgtoken data:1]First-time director McCallum visualises this idea with inventiveness that owes something to his day job&nbsp;as an ad agency creative, and also to his&nbsp;'side-hustle' -&nbsp;as a baker of cakes disguised as very unlikely things - like a cigarette-filled ashtray.So Moir is not just a regular ice cream van guy, toiling through an English summer of variable weather - but also selling eccentric&nbsp;ices at odd prices, that are&nbsp;advertised on the side of the&nbsp;van, as you might expect, but&nbsp;which also come alive as animated characters throughout the video.&nbsp;And then, some are&nbsp;real - like a baked bean ice lolly, or one made out of loose change, or a diamond-studded ice cream.[imgtoken data:2]George Moir himself has a background as an animator, and this is his first video he has not directed himself. But McCallum has impressively built upon&nbsp;those previous DIY efforts, and allowed the singer's unassuming character to shine. And the attention to detail with the product range&nbsp;- designed by McCallum, animated by Jack Bailey - are&nbsp;the sprinkles and chocolate sauce on the 99.&nbsp;&nbsp;
