Beautifully directed by Máni M. Sigfússon, with a full-length album out later this year, Úlfur is one of the most excited names to look out for in 2012.

Though on the whole their sophomore album proved massively disappointing, Justice at least turned in a couple of hits when Audio, Video, Disco landed last year. On’n'On might not be the best off it but a video for their new single pushes the boundaries at least. Directed by Alex Courtès, now a member of France’s wonderful Division collective.
Directed by Morgan Beringer, the release of Matthew Dear’s new EP, Headcage, sees the release of a new video too. Entitled In The Middle (I Met You There), the track features vocals from The Drums frontman Jonny Pierce.

Off last year’s wonderful LP Codes And Keys, Death Cab For Cutie send their 2011 album off with more than a swansong. Directed and animated by Walter Robot, a slick private eye searches the streets for a missing woman.
