Anyone with the remotest interest in electronic music will be eagerly anticipating the forthcoming release of Skream’s long-awaited second album, Outside The Box. This, the lead single, firmly stamps a mark on his new, more epic sound, an intriguing progression from the dubstep that he more or less single-handedly brought overground – first into the dance music arena with his 2005 classic ‘Midnight Request Line’ then into the mainstream last year with his iconic La Roux remix. If this along with some of the other snippets we’ve heard of the album so far are anything to go by, then lazy TV producers will be filing the record alongside DJ Shadow and The xx for all those moody montages and drama series trailers.

Equipped with intelligent and relevant questions as well as a reel-to-reel tape deck, Levitan recorded an insightful conversation, capturing Lennon’s thoughts on the world and in 2007, produced this award-winning, thought-provoking short film, using the original interview as its soundtrack.

Renowned for a disturbing, visually arresting style – their debut album ‘All Hour Cymbals’ depicted a hairy chested, faceless woman on the cover – Yeasayer have seemingly found good company in equally perverse video directing duo Kirby McClure and Julia Grigorian, aka Radical Friend. Following the naked bodies, faceless horserider and homo-erotic boxer from their last single, ‘Ambling Alp’, Radical Friend’s latest interpretation of Yeasayer’s fantastically twisted psych-pop – for new single ‘ONE’ – features gangsters with morphing faces, underwater gimps, mystical poker games and, errrm… well, just watch the video….
