Synopsis

A whimsical music video follows the playful fantasy behind "Dreaming of Lemurs." Set around the Rio Grande in Albuquerque, it presents the band in an offbeat, carnival-like setting while the song's narrator drifts through visions of lemurs, prairie dogs, kangaroos, Africa, Australia, tea and croissants. Rather than treating the dream as a mystery to solve, the video embraces its absurdity and turns an eccentric animal fantasy into a cheerful, homemade-looking celebration of imagination.
