The Hammer and Tongs Collection

Overview

The Hammer & Tongs Collection presents a definitive compilation of the creative duo Hammer & Tongs (director Garth Jennings & producer Nick Goldsmith) at their most innovative in the medium of music video. Spanning their work from the late 1990s into the 2000s, this anthology brings together landmark videos for artists such as Blur (“Coffee & TV”), Radiohead (“Nude”), Vampire Weekend (“A-Punk”, “Cousins”), Pulp, Beck and more. Alongside the main video programme, the disc includes short films, a behind-the-scenes documentary, and audio commentaries with musicians and the directors themselves—offering insight into the ethos, craft and humour behind the camera. With its playful surrealism, bold visual storytelling and definitive curation, the collection serves both as entertainment and as a study of the music video as art form.
