FKA Twigs self-directs this beguiling (and unexpectedly relatable) video for Home With You, a French Exit anthem in which the singer and her friends escape London in the dead of night.When you encounter an artist as distinctive as FKA Twigs, it’s easy to overlook the variety on offer in their output&nbsp;-&nbsp;to imagine each new project as just a small piece of a singular body of work. Over the past seven years, Twigs has developed a very specific mythology, a subversive blend of humanity, warmth and discomfort - encompassed in several key motifs. In a handful of FKA Twigs videos, you can be sure that dance will feature, landscapes will distort, forms will collapse, and inevitably, water will pour.&nbsp;These videos are often so impressive, you can immerse yourself completely in their spectacle without questioning their meaning or motivation. In Andrew Thomas Huang’s video for Cellophane, Twigs climbs a golden pole, attacks a skeletal doppelgänger with her platform shoe, and tumbles into a womb-like mound of red mud. She is then covered in said mud by a pair of masked older women. Who hasn’t been there, right? The narrative is incredibly moving, but at&nbsp;a gut frequency that is difficult to describe. Twigs’ preference for instinctive self-expression pays off.The video for Home With You marks something of a departure, in that it is so direct. Without letting go of her trademark abstractions, Twigs settles on an everyday, low-stakes sensation. Specifically, the urge to get the hell out of Stoke Newington and go home. The video is a kind of triptych, following the singer from the basement of Bar-A-Bar on Kingsland, out to the suburbs in a car with her dancer entourage, and into a smothering, Midsommar-esque community in the countryside.&nbsp;The car sequence, in particular, is a standout in the artist’s oeuvre. The choreography by Twigs and Theo TJ Lowe viscerally captures the complexity of escape. All the excitement, affection and trepidation that accompanies a long journey home. This&nbsp;knotty&nbsp;dynamic between different sensations is at the heart of FKA Twigs’ work, and grounded in the reality, it finds a salient expression in this video.

Hozier 'Movement' by Us

Hozier-'Movement-'-by-Us

It&#39;s all in the eyes.&nbsp;Savages singer Jenny Beth stares us down in this minimal and poignant video for Adore - the first release from their second album Adore You (out Jan 22nd) &ndash; directed by Anders Malmberg.It&#39;s composed of austere lighting setups, with unnervingly&nbsp;slow camera moves towards and away from individual portraits of the bandmembers. It effectively mirrors the tone of the track,&nbsp;but nothing quite prepares you for&nbsp;the intensity of the singer&#39;s electrifying&nbsp;performance. &nbsp;

Savages 'Adore' by Anders Malmberg

Savages - "Adore"

FKA twigs shows she&#39;s in complete control, even when rendered immobile by the Japanese art of rope bondage known as Shibari (or possibly Kinbaku), as the director of the video for Pendulum. It&#39;s a work of startling and provocative imagery, that shows the lengths that twigs is prepared to go for her art.Now signed as a director to Academy +,&nbsp;in the latest issue of Creative Review&nbsp;twigs call this &quot;the biggest creative thing I&rsquo;ve ever done... It&rsquo;s a complete 360 involvement in terms of creativity&rdquo;.&nbsp;And she managed to tolerate impossible positions that experienced practitioners can hold for minutes.The VFX element came about through a collaboration with Lewis Saunders at One of Us, one of the VFX artists on fellow Academy director Jon Glazer&rsquo;s BAFTA-nominated feature, Under The Skin. The video for Pendulum follows the online spot for Google Glass which Twigs also directed - its also beautifully graded by Julien Biard at Finish, who also worked on the Google Glass film.&nbsp;

FKA twigs 'Pendulum' by FKA twigs

FKA twigs - Pendulum

Peace kick out the jams in proper&nbsp;Stone Roses fashion with World Pleasure (from new album Happy People), and indulge in a spot of role-play in the video by Charlie James Reader.&nbsp;For once, this is a Peace video dominated by the band&#39;s own solid and very watchable performance - no boyband spoofing here. But lead singer Harry turns into Maggie Thatcher (snatching some milk, as it turns out), with other band members playing (Tory) Boy&nbsp;George and BoJo. Then the girl fans take over, carrying on the gender-bending theme, as the band and Charlie ramp up&nbsp;the spirit of the second summer of love...

Peace 'World Pleasure' by Charlie James Reader

Peace - World Pleasure (Official Video)

This mainly performance-based promo for sister-group&nbsp;Jagaara&#39;s Faultline by Charlie James Reader is high on atmosphere, and a strong visual impact based around the use of colour.There are also glimpses of narrative, but this is really about creating a mood around Jagaara&#39;s impressive&nbsp;merging of the Seventies melodic soft-rock thing, and&nbsp;the minimal XX-style indie thing.&nbsp;&nbsp;
