Justice and Tame Impala have delivered the accompanying music video for their joint track “Neverender,” which appeared on the former’s latest studio album Hyperdrama.
The visual, helmed by Masanobu Hiraoka with Kota Iguchi and Armand Beraud and produced by Cekai, is billed as a “fantasmagoric journey” through the minds of the two artists as they explore the universe of Hyperdrama using an animation style that fuses classic Art Nouveau aesthetics with vintage Japanese anime.
“The Neverender music video gave us the perfect opportunity to channel many of our visual influences, all while making them more distinctive through Masanobu Hiraoka’s unique reinterpretation,” Justice said in a statement. “Together with longtime collaborators Pascal Teixeira and Armand Beraud, we drew initial inspiration from the title sequences of the 1980s anime we grew up on, which set the visual tone for the video. From there, other key images from our teenage years naturally came into play. Whether it was the work of Moebius, psychedelic art, graphic novels, or iconic film posters that fascinated us, Masanobu’s style seamlessly absorbed and unified them all.”
Announced alongside the release of the music video is a new Neverender Remixes EP, which is set to release this Friday. The upcoming projec twill include two new edits by Justice and reworks by Kaytranada and Keinemusik’s Rampa.
Justice is also set to headline the upcoming Hypefest Hong Kong, which takes place on November 9 and 10.
