THE VACCINES: Dream Lover

From English Graffiti, due out May 25th.

NOISEY: Over the years, via a multitude of movies and scores, we’ve been programmed to accept that the only music suitable for outer space is either epic classical or weird ambient electronica, and nothing in between. Well, the new video from The Vaccines suggests the fuzzy pop rock of their new single “Dream Lover” can also ride pretty damn well amongst the stars, planets, gases and dark matter of our deep and confusing universe. The video, produced by CANADA and directed by PENSACOLA, has everything you’d want from an 80s sci-fi pastiche: big fuck off spaceships, cubist death traps, an enormous robotic eye, alien girls with deadly lasers, and the over-arching, tongue-in-cheek plotline that love is transcendental. It’s enough to make you wish Interstellar was directed by John Carpenter and Richard Curtis. MORE
