Director Matt Muir collaborated with Devendra Banhart to create the official music video for "Twin," a neon-soaked, neo-noir journey inspired by the atmospheric thrillers of the 1980s.
Set against rain-slicked streets and the glow of a city after dark, the video follows Devendra on a mysterious nighttime drive to an enigmatic performance venue, where an eclectic audience gathers to watch him perform. Blending cinematic tension, surreal imagery, and a sensual visual style, Matt creates a dreamlike world that feels both nostalgic and otherworldly.
The video accompanies Devendra's album Flying Wig, released by Mexican Summer.
