Beautifully shot by Steve Annis, Mike Sharpe and Barney Steel’s third promo for Pendulum was filmed in Tennerife which doubled up as an alien planet for the excellent, if a little creepy, sci-fi epic. Poor lass, she must have been exhausted…

The Wombats return, dispensing with their chirpy-chap image of yore in favour of full (and rather unlikely) rock and roll shallowness: Japanese sex, loads of drugs, and fucked-up fame. It’s a tough job, etc…

Much well-crafted fun from LA-based directing team The General Assembly – who brought us Grum’s wonderful Through The Night – in their first UK label commission.
