Top Comments of this video!! :3
I think I recognize this footage, if anyone's curious it’s from an event called “Expo 67” hosted on an island in Montreal that happened for one year in 1967 hence the title, where a bunch of nations participated in showcasing different parts of their culture. Many of the buildings and structures were very futuristic looking, designed to show off the peak of architecture and technology, including the monorail transportation you see in the video, and a few films even used it for a sci-fi setting. I think the setting works perfectly for the dream like quality of the music :)
(Edit: forgot to include that the editing of the band into the old footage is wonderfully done with the film grain and the matching of the locations, it's seems like they're almost really there! Kudos to the editors)

all i can think about when i hear this song is how i drove down the highway with my left hand out the window, screaming into the wind because i had my first kiss the day before with a girl that i knew i would be in love with for the rest of my life. I heard this song on the radio and it had the same feeling of nostalgia yet joy that I still feel when i think about her, and how young we both were and how excited and happy we were to be with eachother. so thank you alvvays for an amazing song trapped in an amazing memory

Is the archival footage from the 1967 Montreal World Fair? Man, I love that flavor of futurism. I was born not too long after that, and that was still very much my childhood aesthetic and what we imagined the world’s utopian near-future would look like. In a sense, to this day I’m still shell-shocked by how abruptly the Thatcher/Reagan ‘80s were imposed on us … how quickly corporate media put a halt to anyone talking about community, or social change, or shared aspirations. The kids are alright, though … maybe they’ll still realize that future for us all, one way or another!

This track is like the first hapiness after a depression
