Artist and filmmaker Hans Neleman presents an abstract promo for The Psychedelic Furs. Intertwining art, photography, collage and stop motion - and paying homage to frontman Richard Butler's paintings - the video for Wrong Train explores the theme of a disintegrating relationship."The idea was to deliver something rooted in a more abstract realm rather than illustrating the lyrics literally," says Neleman. "I photographed and filmed Richard while painting his face as if he were delivering an art performance. Butler’s own artwork also focusses on obscuring and distorting faces with paint so we had a very symbiotic understanding during the creative process.” Restricted by Covid-19, the video was made in Neleman’s home studio in Connecticut, without any crew. More footage was shot in Middletown, New York, at Michelson Studio. Sadly this was to be the last film shoot at the upstate location, as the entire building burnt down to the ground a few weeks later, caused by a fire which originated in a neighbouring factory. A true feat, the visual is a perfect match to the lilting track, and a testament to the work of the entire creative team.

Frederick Lloyd directs a thrilling cinematic video for Hurts' Redemption. Contrasting brooding performance shots and conceptual cutaways, the visual crescendos to a fiery SFX setup that you won't be able to pull your eyes away from.

Blondie are back, releasing their song Fun from their upcoming album Pollinator, with Debbie Harry looking stunning, and a colourful, psychedelia-tinged narrative by NYC-based director Dikayl Rimmasch.With a performance sequence that the director describes as "flash photography from a punk show," shot with one primary light right overhead of the camera, and an element of science fiction, it's a very stylish piece evocative of decades of pop culture. Dikayl Rimmasch describes the main character in the narrative element of the video as, "a beautiful androgynous kid kind of drugged-out, cruising to Mars and finding a party there. Or maybe the whole trip was in this characters mind. We didn’t want to take the sci-fi elements too seriously, so we did these light-hearted animations and shot in this minimal Apollo capsule set."
