After teasing fans over the weekend, Tame Impala have unveiled their new music video for ‘Let It Happen’, the lead single taken from their critically acclaimed third studio effort, Currents, and it’s just as frightening as we anticipated.
Teaming up with English director David Wilson for the second time since the band’s clip for ‘Mind Mischief’ off 2012’s Lonerism, the ‘Let It Happen’ video is a “surrealist lament on the transient, overworked existence of the modern day businessman”.
The woozy, dreamlike single may be the perfect accompaniment to a day lazing about in the sun, but the video is nothing of the sort, packed with jarring imagery, culminating in a nightmarish plane crash scenario that takes place inside the protagonist’s head.
The clip follows the businessman protagonist as he makes the rounds between red eye flights, listless hotel rooms, and barren departure lounges, all filmed in Wilson’s characteristically surreal and hazy visual style. Check it out below.
