Harv Frost returns with another spectacular promo for The Last Dinner Party - a surreal Soho-set Western for the first release from the band's second album.&nbsp;The video for This Is The Killer Speaking transforms London streets into a Western-style town, complete with its own dive bar, fashion and... ethereal centaur. Okay, maybe that's a new addition.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]In the same ambitious, stylish and often surreal aesthetic as Frost's previous collaborations with the band, it's a fresh vibe and a great introduction to the follow-up to their acclaimed debut LP&nbsp;Prelude To Ecstasy.&nbsp;HARV FROST:"Returning to work with TLDP was a dream, after collaborating together on the videos for the first album and our short for the album&nbsp;Prelude To Ecstasy. We have built such a rich mini-cinematic universe that was a joy to dive back into.[imgtoken data:2]"This time it was about doing something different, we wanted to burn the book on what we have done previously, and create something that combines all we have learnt from our previous videos."The pitch for the video was ‘the band wreaks Western-style havoc in Soho’ so I knew from the start it was going to be a challenge in itself - around the band’s availability we could only shoot on a Thursday morning for the Soho scenes, so that meant lots of curious passers-by&nbsp;and stopping traffic.[imgtoken data:3]"This a complete contrast from the locked-off controlled environments we were used to shooting in for previous videos, it posed a new kind of challenge. Thanks to 1st AD master Rose Lucas and the rest of the crew we managed to pull it all off while causing a bit of a scene."For this video my references were stooped in classic spaghetti westerns like Fistful of Dollars, Django and The Good, The Bad And The Ugly,&nbsp;but wanted to give them this acid-western feeling and shoot them in a way that felt modern without being too pastiche. It was about carving out our own style.[imgtoken data:4]"The challenge was making something that felt unlike past TLDP videos that still kept that DNA. That theatricality and character but with a new lick of paint, a darker palette and an even a bleach blonde wig for Abigail. And in typical Last Dinner Party fashion, a western without horses, but rather, a centaur!"Always such a privilege to work with this powerhouse of a band, and to kick off the campaign for their second album."

The Last Dinner Party 'This Is The Killer Speaking' by Harv Frost

The Last Dinner Party - This is the Killer Speaking (Official Video)

Loyle Carner embarks on a dreamlike journey in the self-directed video for the lead-off track from his forthcoming hew album.Loyle (real name, Ben Carner-Loyle) is tucked up in a child-sized bed as the video for Lyin' starts. As water begins to drip onto his head, the bedsheet becomes a device to set him on his travels. He finds himself in bed in the sea, then back asleep, waking up, leaving a public bathroom and entering a rush hour crowd of commuters and then - in a moment of brilliance -&nbsp;rising above everyone else.[imgtoken data:1]Eventually he finds himself walking into a crowded theatre and onto the stage where his bedroom is the set - and he walks back into the room.&nbsp;Throughout, Loyle is talking about the pressures and pleasures of fatherhood - a central theme of the new album&nbsp;hopefully!&nbsp;So the video is itself a surreal exploration of fatherhood, where both&nbsp;inner child and grown-up self are still figuring things out. It leaves things open-ended and unresolved, a cue for the viewer to get closer to Loyle Carner's new music.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Kylie's latest banger, her irresistible collab with The Blessed Madonna,&nbsp;comes with another genius video from Sophie Muller, to further cement her iconic status.In fact, the video for Edge Of Saturday Night suggests that Kylie might actually be immortal. As if shot on the fly during her progress on a wild night out in Ibiza - it was filmed at the legendary Pikes Hotel on the island - starting side-by-side with Blessed Madonna before she proceeds to nightclub, playground, tennis court and finally, fully-clothed dip in a&nbsp;swimming pool, Kylie is a glowing glamourous goddess in every scene and in every format. Not just ageless, Kylie appears to be getting younger...She is certainly revelling in her musical renaissance, and that's the platform for Kylie and her longtime collaborator Muller to do their magic in the video. And it could be hardly described as anything other than magic.By going for the run-and-gun-style approach&nbsp;in its shooting - with sterling work from DoP joel Honeywell - Muller stamps authority through an&nbsp;edit that grabs the viewer from the first seconds. It's a brilliant job, an object lesson in the power of music video editing - like a character in this video of itself.So that's two people cementing their iconic status. And it's certainly the best music video shot at Pikes since Club Tropicana...[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

Griff gives full rein to her emotions, with the help of a small army of dancers, in Colin Solal Cardo's choreography-led video for Miss Me Too.It begins with the pop singer-songwriter entering an empty warehouse hangar space alone. But once plugged into the music via her Bose in-ear headphones, she is joined by numerous dancers. Then through the course of the song Griff becomes the central focus&nbsp;within this larger entity and channels the emotion of the song through the versatile arrangements of the group.With choreography by Jay Revell and cinematography by Madison McKamey, the promo is&nbsp;beautifully well crafted, yet succeeds in feeling unbridled and&nbsp;spontaneous. A fine way to reaquaint ourselves with the talented Griff.&nbsp; &nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

Jade Ang Jackman directs a breezy throwback promo for Priya Ragu's banging summer anthem.&nbsp;With a beat inspired by UK Garage, the track exudes nostalgic charm, and Jade Ang Jackman mirrors this sensibility in the visual aesthetic.&nbsp;We see the artist drive around the city with careless abandon, linking up with friends and toying with the possibility of romance - in an easy fashion.&nbsp;There's dancing, flirting and plenty of laughs, and in this respect it pays homage to the music video style of the early noughties - simple concept packed full of fun vibes, leaving any angst and worry firmly in the rearview.&nbsp;

Priya Ragu 'Easy' by Jade Ang Jackman

Priya Ragu - Easy (Official Video)

Will Dohrn's searingly intense video for IDLES employs a brilliant visual device to tell several parallel stories of life on the edge in modern Britain.It's so rare to see something which takes the familiar and bring a completely fresh, and instantly identifiable perspective. This is one of those occasions, as Dohrn's camera effectively becomes each protagonist, looking downwards at their own right hand as they go about their daily business.Against the incendary aggression of WAR, the director cuts kinetically between the stories, but building up a tapestry of gritty lives, grim outlooks and, as the camera spirals upwards in the final stage, human tragedy.You will need to watch again (and again) to discern each progression - and that is a key element to the success of this thrilling video which is, conversely also immediately impactful. With an execution as strong and inventive as the concept, it's certainly up there as one of the best music videos of the year so far.
