Street Fruit Lean Into 70s Psych on New ‘Hey Operator’ Video

Street Fruit close out 2025 with the kaleidoscopic music video for 'Hey Operator', a groovy, psychedelic companion to one of Strange Tanks’ most hypnotic moments. Equal parts retro fantasy and playful surrealism, the clip distils the band’s warped sense of fun into a vivid visual statement.

Leaning hard into 70s garage psych aesthetics, the video swirls with purple haze, off-kilter textures, and tongue-in-cheek theatrics, mirroring the track’s elastic groove and lurching momentum. It’s knowingly unserious, but never careless, each frame feels designed to echo the band’s shape-shifting sound and refusal to play things straight.

Rather than leaning on narrative, the video thrives on mood, transforming Hey Operator into a hazy fever dream that blurs humour and menace. That tension reflects the song’s lyrical subversion, flipping the familiar street-anthem trope into something more disorienting and elegiac.

Funky, strange, and effortlessly charismatic, the Hey Operator video captures Street Fruit at their most confident, a band unafraid to let colour, chaos, and curiosity lead the way.
