We’ve coincidentally been featuring a string of
sci-fi and
space-related music videos as of late, but Metronomy’s music video for “I’m Aquarius”, directed by French director
Edoud Salier, is definitely the most polished of the bunch. Rolling with the punches of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Mount’s use of astrological references galore, this music video is like a sci-fi book cover turned motion picture style. Retro spaceships float over spacescapes painted in bold strokes, until they finally touch down in a new land, not unlike a modern ancient Egypt, and timed perfectly for the song’s ending half, which worms out into ethereal spaces.
