A young man goes on holiday alone, and as his agitated demeanour suggests, he is not like other boys...

Step through the door with Albert Hammond Jr. and actress Portia Doubleday in this beautifully dreamlike exploration of love and life and loss directed by Fraser RIGG.
Albert Hammond Jr: "I followed Fraser into the abyss. He had a real vision he expressed by saying 'Love is the one thing that transcends time and space.' I felt like he was moved by the song and knew how to capture it visually. I understood what he meant but to me the love didn’t represent human connection. I knew It would be the most universal way to show it visually but I found myself realizing the cycle of who I was and what I was about to become, with the death of my old self and the birth of this new person, was what transcended time and space. That love for life, that lust for life is forever reshaping itself."
Continuing his collaboration with Nothing But Thieves, arguably one of the biggest UK rock bands, director Thomas James followed the band on their recent US tour.

The song might sound ABBA, but the lyrics and the video make it seem like we shouldn't get too accustomed to our instant-gratification culture, especially if the future is as barren and dire as it looks in this video.
Songwriting is often (and accurately) described as hard work, but this video actually associates it to escaping from a car underwater. Tricky stuff, indeed.
A juke joint gig leads to a surreal dinner party and a descent into what seems to be pure evil. Raury better run, or hope that he's gonna wake up from this nightmare.
Lip Dubs, cover songs and all sorts of other unofficial content goes like gold on YouTube, so why not a prograde dance video with Jilly Meyers — who also helped choreograph and conceive the Hozier "Work Song" video — and her fellow Seaweed Sisters playing out a slapstick desert misadventure to the tune of Tune-Yards "
A strange night at the mines for Killers frontman Brandon Flowers as he plays a frontiersman leaving his wife, played by Evan Rachel Wood, for a visit quest that's initiated by Psychedelic Furs mainman Richard Butler.
If you're going to do anything that's even close to the masterful True Detective opening credits, then you better do it well. And if you know anything about Taylor Swift, then you know that she only does things well.
