Tame Impala just released the video for their song “Lucidity,” off their debut album InnerSpeaker, out on Modular Recordings. In the song’s lyrics, lead vocalist Kevin Parker sings about reaching the sky; the video’s director Robert Hales took that idea to the extreme. Shot about 300 miles from Melbourne, the video was shot by a camera launched into space with a weather balloon packed with a GPS unit, which returned to Earth once it popped at its summit 14 miles high in the air. The effect is quite impressive with the image flipping and turning, slowly getting further and further from the ground into space. Preparation was strenuous: numerous authorizations had to be obtained from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the first cameras launched fogged up, or ran into clouds that obscured the view. But the result is beautiful and you can watch it right HERE.

Watch the video below:

If they put so much effort in their videos, imagine the dedication that could go into their live shows! They will be embarking on 10-week international tour next week that will bring them to the United States in November so definitely check them out.
