The first two minutes of this video plays out like a basic moody performance mixed with a sparse city narrative, but then things start to pulse and come alive with some catharctic sci-fi magic.
The California desert has long held a magnetic attraction to artists (and directors) from the land of Royal Babies - so the even more moody and striking Salton Sea was perfect for director Frank Borin and the Manchester group, Hurts.
"That's Alright" takes the dance vibes of director Wendy Morgan's fantastic C2C "Happy" video to a different place, but keeps the same infectious charm. Singer Laura Mvula engages in a riotous dance routine that's as magical as the mystical touches throughout this '40s-vibed vamp.
Although the premise of "Lucifer moves to Hollywood and fits right in" sounds like a sitcom, directors AG Rojas and Vincent Haycock balance the flashes of humor here — I could see actor Brad Dourif's Louis Cypher as a Borscht Belt champion — with enough malice and mayhem (and mammaries) to push the boundaries of even Cable TV.
