Tame Impala’s Jay Watson Shares New GUM “Gemini” Video: Watch

In November, Tame Impala’s Jay Watson released a new GUM album called Flash in the Pan. Today, he’s shared the video for the record’s “Gemini.” Directed and edited by Sam Kristofski, it is lo-fi, filled with astrological signs, and inspired by children’s fantasy shows. Watch it, and read Kristofski’s statement on it, below.

The clip was roughly styled around old children’s fantasy shows, like “The Neverending Story.” I love the idea of people blaming their behavior on their star sign too, so I think that was the whole section around someone crying, and in deep thought then cutting to the symbol. Also Jay fighting his star sign was based around that whole Gemini double personality thing, in combat with your other half, I just did the ’80s Karate Kid thing as it mixed in with the theme and tone of the clip.

We shot the whole thing in L.A. on left over 35mm and 16mm film stock from “CSI: Las Vegas,” which was a risk as the film was so old.
