Flying axes. Knife fights. Baseball played with melons. A kid in a Sponge Bob outfit being hauled away by cops while Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck sing poolside. It’s all part of the duo’s latest mind-fuck of a video, which we got wind of this morning and have had to replay several times in the last hour (Via Spinner). It’s useless to try analyzing this disparate pack of images here. Best to just sit back and enjoy the ride, which was directed by Keith Schofield and features plenty of pancakes too.
The song is from Gainsbourg’s Beck-produced album IRM, due out January 26 on Because/Elektra.
