Commercial directing duo Nott Brothers release their first ever music video, for cult favourites Henge.&nbsp;The video&nbsp;for Wanderlust features&nbsp;a psychedelic romp through a mysterious library, and places the band -&nbsp;kitted out in full alien regalia - at the centre of a comedic mystery.&nbsp;The bizarre affair is punctuated by strobing lights, eclectic costume design and eccentric art direction, and is the polar opposite to any expectation you might have from a library visit.&nbsp;Simultaneously playful and surreal, the video feels like Dr Who on acid, and carefully treads the line between good times and a nightmarish hallucination.&nbsp;“We wanted to encapsulate the band’s on-stage presence, and situate it within a cinematic narrative,” Nott Brothers explain. “The film was a real labour of love, and made for a very long day of shooting!”

Chris Fowles directs a poignant promo for Cavetown's Fall In Love With A Girl, featuring&nbsp;Beabadoobee.The video sees the artist - real name Robin Skinner - create a series of narrative setups in a dollhouse, using small figurines and a selection of to-scale props. One of those small figurines follows the song's lead - they are placed in a conventional&nbsp;heterosexual relationship; but each time Cavetown's character returns to the doll's house, they have mysteriously turned away from this stereotypical set-up.&nbsp;Then a turning point changes the course of the narrative - triggered by the arrival of Bea, when Robin is absent. The figurine can then embrace the&nbsp;same-sex relationship they dream&nbsp;of.[imgtoken data:1]Fowles shows impressive storytelling craft in making this all work. He approaches it in an&nbsp;an accessible, artistic way,&nbsp;and DoP Terrence Wilkins' superb cinematography - both in and out of the dollhouse - elevates the entire project. The performances of the artists also strike&nbsp;the right note.&nbsp;&nbsp;"I was so excited when this brief came in,"&nbsp;says Fowles. "The track was such an earworm and an incredible chance to work with artists like Robin and Bea, who I’ve been a fan of for a while."The video is a playful lesson in not being able to control who you fall in love with. An attempt to control your destiny and finding (or in this case, creating) the perfect person."[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Sekou Abineri directs a stylish visual to accompany Rachel Chinouriri's collaboration with Hak Baker on the wistful November.As Chinouriri's emotive lyrics capture the&nbsp;intense memories and nostalgic nature of the track, Abineri's video does a great job in presenting the personalities of the performers and the sense of ease and friendship between them, within beautifully art directed settings.[imgtoken data:1]An&nbsp;empty swimming pool is one of the locations that help to create an aspirational sensibility to frame both the individual and joint performances. These are mainly focussed on the glamourous Chinouriri, but also give Baker his moment in the spotlight, to present a more pop-friendly image than previously.It all works well with the dreamy soundscapes of the track, Chinouriri's&nbsp;sultry and delicate vocals, and&nbsp;the yearning nature of the lyrics.

Chris Fowles directs a powerful one-shot video for up-and-coming London-based artist Gigi Moss.Set on an underground train, the film uses in-camera tricks to transition between a fully packed train and a totally stark and isolating space, representing the lilting highs and lows of the music.&nbsp;It’s an interesting spin on the themes of the track, which explores a bittersweet story of being trapped somewhere you’re uncomfortable, and how easy it can be&nbsp;to return to a toxic situation.&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Marti Guiver balances a sense of realism and gloomy fantasy in the cinematography, with coloured lights and a tinted green aesthetic, representing the unease and conflict the artist is feeling.“The song struck a real chord with me when I first heard it," says Chris Fowles. "Gigi was quite keen for the narrative of the video to be contemporary and a new spin on her feelings behind the track. Her management gave us total creative freedom which was amazing. We didn’t have much time or budget, but I think we managed to pull it off."&nbsp;

Berwyn takes a introspective saunter&nbsp;through late-night Peckham, in Ethan + Tom's video for Vinyl.Tapping into that quietly centred charisma that made his <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/07/27/berwyn-trap-phone-brock-neal-roberts/65800" target="_blank">UKMVA-winning video for Trap Phone</a> so special,&nbsp;Ethan Barrett and Tom Gullum&nbsp;have situated Berwyn's performance of this heartfelt track on an&nbsp;inner London high street that edges between reality and a dreamlike state.The up-and-coming directing duo have already made an impression with their visual inventiveness, but they keep the&nbsp;high-octane trickery of their videos for Flohio mostly in locker here. It's all about Berwyn's compelling performance, framed by excellent cinematography by Terrence Wilkins, and a constantly moving, occasionally rotating camera.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Gino Fernandez explores a sugar daddy's psychedelic trip in Reservations, his second collaboration with Madison Paris.&nbsp;Hypnotic and ethereal, the visual takes place at a large manor house, where Madison and friends take a rich old man hostage, forcing him into a trip washed with hallucinatory visions and galactic fever dreams.&nbsp;DoP Terrence Wilkins masterfully contrasts&nbsp;beautiful composition and lighting with the darker themes and undertones, creating a dichotomic aesthetic that brings the concept to life.&nbsp;Fernandez not only takes on the role of director, but also shows off his VFX and editing chops in the video, resulting in a project that is slick, contemporary and just a little bit weird...&nbsp;

Themes of sexual harrassment and objectification are&nbsp;explored in director Chris Fowles' intimate video for Tyrer's Showgirl.&nbsp;Focusing on the story of a young burlesque dancer, and the impact of a toxic relationship,&nbsp;Fowles' confident direction&nbsp;draws out an absorbing performance from&nbsp;Tyrer - impressive considering this project is his music video debut.&nbsp;Showgirl highlights the gritty side of an industry obsessed with glamour, and does so with an intelligent and unique perspective.DP&nbsp;Terrence Wilkins sets the scene with high contrast lighting and an expert use of negative space, mirroring the isolation of the character and the overwhelming negativity of her environment. Utilising a mixture of wides and close-up shots, the jarring juxtaposition represents the uncertainty of the subject in the narrative.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Jerome Thomas faces up to a terrifying fate with poise and dignity, in Dumas Haddad's&nbsp;cinematic&nbsp;story of love and retribution.The singer is prone on a beach and we soon realise his predicament - mortally wounded, tied by rope by his vengeful captors. A flashback then reveals his crime of a forbidden love affair, before a climaxThis atmospheric piece for Bruises, with photography by Olan Collardy,&nbsp;is described by director Haddid as a "grindhouse&nbsp;Afro-Futurist Western", and there is a definitely an element of Tarantino in the portrayal of cruelty.But it's also testiment to a remarkable British summer that this sun-kissed, widescreen piece that suggests the American Deep South, was actually shot in Margate, and its surroundings.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
