Blondie are releasing a new album, Pollinator, on May 5 via BMG. Previously the iconic ‘70s band shared the album’s first single, “Fun.” Now “Fun” has a video. Dikayl Rimmasch directed the clip, which features the band performing the song in black & white, intercut with color images of a female astronaut going on a psychedelic trip. Check it out below, followed by their recently announced joint tour dates with Garbage.

Pollinator features a slew of special guests, including Blood Orange (aka Dev Hynes), Charli XCX, Johnny Marr, Sia, TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek, Joan Jett, Laurie Anderson, The Strokes’ Nick Valensi, and others. John Congleton produced the album. Pollinator features original Blondie members Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, and Clem Burke and Shepard Fairey created the album’s artwork.
