Stars Around My Heart, the first track to be shared from the album, is accompanied by a suitably out-there video directed by Brother Willis who has previously worked with Parquet Courts and King Krule amongst others. Check it out below…

Talking about the Spielberg meets Ashes to Ashes video, Brother Willis said:

“I’m a long-time fan of Steve’s work so it was an honour to make a video for him. The concept and inspiration were very much a collaborative effort with Steve. We share a mutual love for the textures and warm personality that outdated formats have in contrast to the crisp HD 8K of today. It was an incredible collaborative experiment to shoot on Tube Camera and modern camera and put it all out to tape and back to try and achieve the feeling of watching a beloved sci-fi movie from your youth. And a good excuse to have amazingly talented people build an alien vessel and hone their early 80’s visual effects skills. We were aiming for an uplifting, Psychedelic Spielberg effect that hopefully we achieved.”
