H. Kink inhabit their very own version of TV show Hollywood Squares in the video for Paws Off, directed by vocalist Lisa Rieffel. Shot remotely, lockdown didn't stop the LA-based indie outfit paying homage to their favourite TV game shows, complete with zesty performances and a cameo from famous '80s puppet Alf. Or should that be Ralf... In their signature vintage style, this sassy yet endlessly entertaining visual is a perfect match to the twangy track, a taster of just-released EP Men. It's a follow-up to Rieffel's previous outing as the director of her band's videos, for Hit The Road.

Eva Michon - who directed last years' hilariously debauched Amish barn dance video for Death From Above 1979's track Virgins - has delivered this funny retro pastiche for American rock duo Deap Vally. Embodying the song's insubordinate punk spirit is a crossdressing, pink-furred Neanderthal who rocks up to the beach and causes scandal with all his defiantly hairy splendour. Lashing out at the sneering crowd, the creature grabs beach balls and karate-chops books out of a woman's hands before dancing around like he owns the place. And that's when the girls of Deap Vally have seen quite enough, attacking the poor beast. But somewhere along the way.. they simply decide to have a little dance instead.

One Way Glass is the debut single for newly-formed 'supergroup' Innerspace Orchestra, a trio comprising Tom Furse (The Horrors), Cathy Lucas (Fanfarlo), and Rose Dougall (Mark Ronson, the Pipettes). The ethereal yet rhythmic track has received some dependably mesmerising, colourful visuals by Alden Volney, with a diverse array of shifting shapes and animation styles that look like they were made in a bygone age.

Directing team AB/CD/CD have created a superbly entertaining video for French producer Breakbot's My Toy – featuring British DJ & vocalist Yasmin – which gives the classic Hollywood musical production number a sexy, Gallic-flavoured modern twist. The toy in question is a boy robot without a face, brought to life by a bevy of girl designers and engineers - and whisked off in an animatronic seat - shaped like a female breast. Thus the sexy retro-futurist tone is set for the rest of the video, with our awestruck robot protagonist observing a parade of attractive women as they perform an elaborate choreography including seductive cat costumes as well as aerobics and cheerleading routines.The engineers back at the lab eventually decide upon a face which reflects his state of overwhelmed excitement. But having been primed for love with one partner, will true love prevail? Our will our boy robot be a little too human?

Director Rok Predin at Trunk has animated Scottish artist Steve Mason's second single Alive from his third solo album Meet the Humans. The video is a homage to 1990’s video-gaming, but rather than employing the iconic platform style as seen in Trunk’s recent video for Blur’s Ong Ong, Rok adopted the isometric look of early 16-bit video games such as Street Fighter and Sim City, lovingly recreated using Cinema 4D and After Effects.The song’s theme drove the concept of the video, which sees a game in which each character is held in stasis by a virus that hovers over them. To break free, the characters first need to understand what is keeping them captive wearing a pair of glasses that reveal the virus, before having a big, all out scrap! Trunk’s producer Richard Barnett notes, “To create a well-known, classic look, such as a 90’s console game, and to do it with an amount of believability, is always tricky. We used a number of rules and techniques to help us, such as an aged colour palette, balanced pixilation, and we were always very conscious of the audiences point of view when playing those games. We recreated that feel by using a lot of aerial shots that moved through the city and side on fixed shots that we all remember well from playing the games endlessly as kids.”

Canadian indie folk artist Andy Shauf has released wistful beauty in the form of a cut-out animated video by Winston Hacking for The Magician. Delicate arrangements of mid-20th century printed imagery create psychedelic nostalgia in a video that goes hand-in-hand with a stirring Beatles-esque track.Shauf explained, “I’ve realized over the past little while that when you are working with someone else, you have to let them realize their own artistic vision and work within their own tastes. I’m really glad that we gave Winston free reign over the video because he used such beautiful imagery and striking colours to create this collage that I’m proud to have been a part of.”

Jean-Marie Marbach's out-there video for Argentinian group Modular's Fiebre En La Disco is a homage to Cosmic Disco, with retro-futuristic twist. The scenario is an otherworldy game show - in a disco, natch – where a dance-off between glamorous women in sequined bodysuits is supervised by a cyborg with the TV screen head of bandmember Pablo Dahy and bandmate Mariana Badaracco - who then eliminate the contestants, one by one, in a 'poof' of stardust. Then, when three contestants are left standing, round two begins.... with the ladies shooting lazers at each other using rings they punched out of disco balls. Yup... it's a strange one, and it just keeps getting weirder...

Emil Nava's latest video is this ultra-stylish, Francophilic vision for British singer-songwriter Florrie's track Real love, oozing with loads of retro-Hollywood glamour. Shot on 16mm, the video is captured by her on-screen boyfriend's camera, following the couple's playful interactions in their stylish Art Deco home.
