Seeing the girl of your dreams holding hands with some guy, or basketball team gorilla mascot, named Trevor may not be "the greatest feeling ever," but watching the new music video for Tame Impala's "The Less I Know The Better" might well be one of them.
You can't really go wrong when directed by delightful Spanish collective CANADA, who have been making some of the most brilliant music videos in recent years from El Guincho's "Bombay" to Battles' "Ice Cream," and their work with this Currents classic is no exception.
CANADA drench the Australian indie darlings' groovy bassline wallop and sultry croons in their quintessentially quirky and colorful aesthetic for a trippy and stimulating experience bound to rival preceding music video "Let It Happen" in those near-encroaching year-end lists.
This love triangle tale of man and ape is a particularly sexual and surreal short film even for them, and it's safe to say the more you watch the better.
Tame Impala - The Less I Know The Better (Official Video) “Directing collective CANADA has released a new video for Tame Impala’s latest single, The Less I Know The Better, taken from the band’s third album, Currents. At the centre of the story is a love triangle inspired by the song’s title and lyrics. But this is not your average high school love affair… it all swirls around a basketball player, his cheerleader sweetheart and the team’s apeman mascot, Trevor.” Visit lawebdecanada.com
