Salvation? Or just a mirage? A beautifully poetic piece that plays partly like an update of Sisyphus, and partly like a nod to Fitzcarraldo, but with a sci-fi vibe and an undercurrent that's clearly political and powerful.
Bastille's Dan Smith finds himself rather seamlessly inserted into a chaotic, futuristic world inspired by forthcoming Netflix film Bright, starring Will Smith as a cop with Joel Edgerton as his orc partner.
A portraiture of a wandering dog at magic hour. Two lovers at the beach, dealing with each other and the dangerosly crashing waves. And a depressed woman who confronts an unhelpful counterman, to tragic results. "Don't Know Why" is a music video comprised of those three totally seperate acts, connected only on a subsconscious level.
A hooded figure stalks the halls, beneath the watchful gaze of others in Emmanuel Adjei's haunting clip for Sevdaliza.
A simple, yet intense scenario unfolds here which scratches at a human desire to stare and to be stared at. And has a brave and beautiful visual twist.
Adjei invites us to follow a cloaked ghostlike figure gliding through the hallways of a mansion. But once the figure reaches a large open space, populated by men watching from a balcony above, the true form of the figure is revealed.
Davis Sillis, director: "We think of cocoons as a source of comfort and protection. Where we can isolate ourselves from the dangers of the outside world. But I wanted to explore another side of what can happen when we isolate ourselves so much, we become capable of doing the unimaginable. Using classic fairytale tropes, the idea was to create a video that felt like a visual antithesis to the music, densely packed with metaphor."
