Niall Trask presents the idiosyncratic poet/singer-songwriter Jim E. Brown in a gritty South London setting, for his appealingly silly I Saw A Bird Today.With a murky aesthetic and deadpan performance, Trask's visual is a vehicle for Brown's downtrodden, miserablist persona and highly specific outlook on the world around him, as he recounts a random encounter with a bird in amusingly banal detail. With plenty of confused stares from Brown and a selection of avian cameos from the local pigeons, the director's enthusiasm for off-kilter comedy and unconventional characters shines through. Jim E. Brown is certainly one of those.“I Saw A Bird Today is a song I have wrote about seeing a bird," says Brown. "I never actually saw the bird in the song, but used poetic license to imagine what it would be like to see a bird. I am an alcoholic and spend most of my time sat at pub. I am not outdoors often enough to see birds."The director of the video, Niall Trask, found some pigeons in Brixton and had me stand near them. It was rather uncomfortable to be near so many birds as I abhor animal life. Luckily it did not take long to film and I was able to drink Strongbow during the production.”

Jack Whiteley directs a hilariously offbeat promo for Liverpool-based duo Dogshow. After nearly a decade of live shows, this single hails from the brothers' first ever EP, debuting on Berlin's Hot Concept label. The video sees Sam and Laurie dancing around their North Liverpool venue, The Invisible Wind Factory, as well as popping up in different locations in the vicinity. From hot-boxing their Toyota Yaris in a nearby multi-storey to having a dip in the Crowne Plaza’s blue lagoon, the video is a mash-up of tight lycra, Dad dancing and deadpan performance, which amalgamates to create something mindlessly fun and engaging.
