Music videos directed by Richard Ayoade.
He developed a parallel career as a rock video director after mentioning in a meeting with record label and film company Warp that he loved the Arctic Monkeys, and ended up directing a string of videos for them (given the band's legendary reticence, the mind boggles at what the initial meeting was like) as well as Vampire Weekend, Kasabian and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Mention of it brings on another attack of modesty โ "No matter how bad a music video, the song remains intact" โ but his videos are weird and intriguing. He dressed the preppy, hip Vampire Weekend as goths, and somehow transmuted the Arctic Monkeys' Fluorescent Adolescent into clowns engaged in a violent pitched battle with non-clowns, shot in the style of The Sweeney.
