Great New Music Videos

We have a great selection of new promos to share with you this month, kicking off with this beautiful new video for Keaton Henson, which is set in a handcrafted forest, inhabited by puppet wild animals...
Created for the song Small Hands, it is director Joseph Mann's debut music video, and features puppetry by Jonny & Will. Production company: Blinkink.
Next up is an unexpected, graphics-inspired vid for Paul Weller, for his new track Green, directed by Ruffmercy. Production company: Soup Factory.
This stylish video by AB/CD/CD was commissioned by the Nowness website. Set to Factory Floor track On Hold, it features a series of beautiful people performing repetitive acts. Production company: Partizan.
We've been a bit slow getting this new video for Plan B up on the blog, so you may well have seen it by now, but if not, here's Yann Demange's riotious video for the track, which is titled Ill Manors. Production company: Rokkit.
This new promo for Canadian band Blanket Barricade's track X-Out illustrates the dangers of unfeasibly tasty baked goods. It's directed by Marshall Axani, and is the second chapter in a four part music video saga created for the band. Check out part 1 here. Production company: Awkward Moment Productions.
Ben Reed has directed this rather bizarre new video for Clock Opera track Man Made. Production company: HSI.
This video for Irish band We Cut Corners features some clever projection techniques to create an eerie effect with the band's faces. Directors/Production: Tusk Productions.
We finish up with a making-of video, which takes you behind the scenes of the video for MIA's recent track Bad Girls, directed by Romain Gavras, which caused a bit of a stir on the CR blog last month. Here's how it was done...

Interesting attitude with the Plan B video. Perhaps the editor should have sneaked in Captain Mainwaring saying "You stupid boy" at the end. Wonder what plan 'A' was.

I love the Small Hands Video. Thanks for introducing me to the world of Blinkink.

Is That Paul Weller video 3D in the same way those old 'magic eye' pictures are, or has it been a long week for me...?

There is certainly a lot of exciting ideas going on in the world of music videos. There should be something to please a lot of contemporary music palettes with such videos as Hold On, or the lyrical grit of Plan B's Ill Manor. The behind-the-scenes video of MIA's Bad Girls music video certainly gives the scoop behind the cultural trend of Iranian drifting.
