King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have shared another music video from their recent album, Butterfly 3000. They are releasing an animated video a week for every song off the new album, which Gigwise described as a "melancholic major scale ethereal masterpiece" in our album review.

Keeping with the retro animation style, the 'Interior People' music video sees our protagonist riding on the back of a butterfly, getting up to all kinds of adventures. 

Here's how director Ivan Dixon described the music video:

“The only direction from the band was to include butterflies, to tie in with the album name Butterfly 3000. When I listened to ‘Interior People; I immediately pictured something with momentum, like a wild road trip. That’s where the idea of the protagonist riding a giant butterfly came from. The title made me think of cocoons. Maybe our hero was trying to find a cocoon to metamorphose into a butterfly herself? Little moments of affection between her and her butterfly could hint at a deeper bond between them. Were they lovers?

With the cocoon I really wanted to design the kind of thing you would find in a typical Australian garden as a kid. The ones with little sticks poking out of them. I’ve never seen those particular cocoons represented anywhere before.”

Butterfly 3000 is out now on KGLW.
