Pearl Jam get help from Greta Thunberg in 'Retrograde' video
The band themselves also appear in the video as human tarot cards.
For their latest visual from Gigaton, Pearl Jam use animation to warn of impending environmental disasters.
'Retrograde' uses classic zodiac imagery to make a broader commentary about how we are masters of our own fate, as far as the environment is concerned. The video depicts a man going to see a fortune teller, where he views rising sea levels and other natural disasters in a crystal ball. Near the end of the song, the band reveals that Greta Thunberg is fortune teller.
Lead singer Eddie Vedder, who has long been an advocate for various social/political justice issues, recently appeared in the One World: Together at Home concert to perform 'River Cross' from Gigaton.
Watch the video for 'Retrograde' below.
