TUNE-YARDS, the band around mastermind Merrill Garbus, shares a music video for their track Water Fountain. It’s another track off her new album Nikki Nack which will be released on May 5 in the UK and May 6 in the U.S. via 4AD. And the clip got its inspiration directly from the artist’s childhood. From the kids show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, to be exactly.
Director Joel Kafali on the concept: ‘I’d had plenty of ideas for a kid’s show that had been waiting to see the light of day. I didn’t want to make a straight homage piece; there are moments of nostalgia in there but the video is our own modern, manic, collage of a kids show.’ You can enjoy the new TUNE-YARDS clip right here.
