Irene Marco and Markus Meedt direct a sensual visual experience for the rock-operatic extravagance of new outfit Rora and the Untamed.Fired by a panoply of in-camera effects, the video for Savage White Swan spins from gritty reality - as Rora has her car washed by bandmate Nathen - into an alternative space where she performs within a grip of suited men, faces covered in lace - but also cutting back to the car, the soap on the windscreen evoking the feathers of the eponymous swan."The video explores the uneasy space between reality and expectation, and the way the pursuit of perfection and recognition can ultimately become isolating," explain directors Irene Marco and Markus Meedt."From our first conversations with Rora and Nathen, we were drawn to the duality at the heart of the album: wanting to express yourself but fearing judgement, wanting to belong while also wanting to stand apart. The image of the Savage White Swan felt like the perfect embodiment of that conflict, something beautiful and seductive, but also strange and threatening."Visually, we wanted the film to feel operatic, retro and fantastical, with Kate Bush as a key touchstone. Rather than escaping reality completely, the film filters it through a dreamlike visual language. Blindfolds pass between Rora and Nathen as they enter one another’s worlds, while masked onlookers become an elegant but unsettling embodiment of judgement and scrutiny."All of the film’s visual effects were created in camera using classic techniques including prism lenses, step printing and slow-motion lip sync, giving the film a deliberately tactile, analogue character."

Jake Haire directs an absorbing promo for indie-folk singer-songwriter Evan Flynn, aka Sorry For Interrupting. The video for Lookout Below follows the process of an artist painting by a river, capturing the environment through her own perspective. Simple but charming, it's a laidback visual for a laidback track.

A long hot summer's day in the life of singer-songwriter-producer BEASTIE, in his home manor of Mitcham, South London - in eye-catchingly lo-fi and authentic fashion. With a decidedly no-frills but skilled approach, Goose (that's Gustav Newby, one half of directing duo Broken Antenna) takes us through a day of drinking, smoking and homemade tattooing with this talented up-and-comer and his friends in this unheralded corner of London suburbia.And its for the track Mitcham Mint, inspired by a historic pub in BEASTIE’s local area, which shut down for being too rowdy. The beauty of Goose's video is the contrast between the energy of the visuals, where you get a real sense of place - in all its rough-and-readiness - and the artist's slow-burning melodic soul.It's also the first video credited to Goose, as a solo director, rather than Broken Antenna - although his BA partner Myles McAuliffe has played his part here as the editor of the video."I wanted to make something that reflected one of those summer days where you wake up from the night before still with your friends and drift around from motive to motive meeting up with different people and hanging out letting the day take you where it chooses to take you," he says. "Sometimes that's just hanging out and sometimes that's ending up in a situation with someone you don't know so well where you end up doing something you normally wouldn't and probably shouldn't."I also wanted it to be a celebration of Mitcham. The area, the architecture and the people. Despite growing up in South-East London, it wasn't an area I was particularly familiar with, I never really had any reason to take me there before."It's always a fun part of making videos like this though, where you get yourself immersed in an area that you previously didn't know much about."
