Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

One of the most beautifully innovative videos we’ve seen for quite some time. Porduced by Monitors’ favourite Sweet Baboo, this song by Cardiff’s Islet can readily be described as glacial, and director Casper White, an up-and-coming Welsh artist, has clearly taken that on board. His idea was to paint portraits of all the band members directly onto blocks of ice, then let them slowly thaw. He then layered that over shots of the band themselves, so that their features slowly melt away from their faces in a way that is both surreal and strangely moving (although the emotional effect may be enhanced by the exquisitely ethereal music). A humble triumph.
