Michel Gondry Directs IDLES’ New “Model Village” Video: Watch

Bristol’s IDLES have shared an animated music video for a brand new tune known as “Model Village.” It was co-directed by Michel Gondry, the French director behind Everlasting Sunshine of the Spotless Thoughts, in addition to music movies for Radiohead, the Chemical Brothers, Björk, Daft Punk, and others. Gondry co-directed the “Model Village” video along with his brother Olivier Gondry. Take a look at the visible (made in collaboration with WePresent) beneath.

Michel Gondry defined to WePresent:

Olivier [Gondry] and I have been excited to work on this as a result of we use
fully reverse strategies. I work with a primitive system of
reducing paper and shifting it below the lens body by body. Olivier
then transforms it by morphing, warping and CGI…. Mainly, within the
first half we attempt to illustrate the lyrics as shut as attainable, to
create the world, after which within the second half…. they go to the moon.

“Model Village” is taken from IDLES’ forthcoming album Extremely Mono, the follow-up to their 2018 sophomore album Pleasure as an Act of Resistance. The brand new album arrives September 25 through Partisan.
