In his latest foray into directing, Freddie Wright orchestrates a supernatural mystery for alt-rock band Palace's atmospheric When Everything Was Lost. It begins with a young man alone in an apartment, surrounded by coruscating lights and shadows, which slowly reveal ethereal illusions and haunting snapshots of memories. A young woman becomes a distant presence in the house. The young man is eventually transported to a lake, before fighting for a way back to the house - and the girl. The ghost story-cum-horror aesthetic and structure fit perfectly with the music, whilst the ambitious cinematography nd visual effects feel cinematic and inspired throughout.

Nothing But Thieves frontman Conor Mason preaches to an empty derelict room, backdropped by mysterious symbols and iconography, in Sam Bailey's enigmatic video for Tomorrow Is Closed. Mason interacts with empty space as if real people are there watching, and only after inhaling a mysterious gas do we see more characters appear, in a dark, otherworldly realm.With a post-apocalyptic vibe and a gritty, raw aesthetic, the video raises plenty of questions and answers only some of them. It leaves things open for a follow-up or simply presents an opportunity for viewers to impart their own ideas onto the concept.Mason embodies the main character perfectly, lending an emotional, erratic persona to the role, and the contrast of light and dark encapsulates the mysterious themes.

Mihai Feflea directs a super-vibrant promo for alt-rock project Tummyache. Inspired by the films of Ingmar Bergman and Terrence Malick, the surreal visual for Circling The Drain was shot on 16mm Kodak Vision3 250D and on the Éclair NPR 16mm cine camera, an important part of the cinéma vérité movement in France.Featuring an abstract amalgam of beachside setups, the video follows two characters traversing a picturesque landscape. Their relationship and connection are kept vague, and any narrative elements serve more as connecting tissue between the eccentric visual moments. There is beauty in mystery, and this video by Mihai Feflea is a perfect example of that - and the aesthetic is gorgeously executed, with saturated colours and a nostalgic, unique feel throughout.

Jeremy Johnstone releases the second chapter of a two-part music video for LA outfit Romantic Dividends. Taken from the band's debut album, Giallo, the video is an atmospheric patchwork of abstract vignettes, borrowing heavily from the Italian cinema genre that inspired the album name. Giallo - Italian for yellow - is a genre of murder mystery fiction that often contains slasher, thriller, psychological horror, sexploitation, and, less frequently, supernatural horror elements. Boasting the same experimental, B-movie vibes of the genre itself, Johnstone's video presents snapshots of a narrative with plenty of textural overlays and vibrant colour choices.
