Holy Esque "Hexx" (William Kennedy, dir.)

William Kennedy, director: "The track is incredibly emotive. There’s a real sense of vulnerability behind the sweeping scale of the music. A stream of really exciting and disparate images came to mind when I first listened. But I felt the track deserved a character-driven piece. I wanted to make a very personal film about being and young and in love. I didn’t want to go down the linear narrative route and so I tried to set a mood for the film as a whole by drawing together some of the really striking images that the track inspired.

Watch It

Flora Tropics "Visual Diet" (William Kennedy, dir.)

This one might not be for the squeamish, but it's about as good a meditation on sex, birth, death and over and over again as you're likely to find in a music video today.

William Kennedy, director: ”It’s a film about loneliness. I wanted to visually represent those intrusive thoughts that come to you when you're lying awake late at night. All the fear and self-doubt. ‪I wanted the disturbing cutaways to provoke a physical response, replicating the nauseous feeling that accompanies these cyclical destructive thought patterns.”
