Years & Years Releases Stunning Dystopian Video For "Eyes Shut"
Things get bleak
UK electronica trio Years & Years (featuring out frontman Olly Alexander) have been on an incredible roll this year. Their single "King" reached #1 on the UK chart back in March, and the followup "Shine" peaked at #2.
Their long-awaited first album Communion dropped in July, debuting at #1 on the UK album chart, outselling the rest of the top 5 combined in its first week of release.
The single "Eyes Shut" is out now, and they've just released the music video, which is stark and bleak, and cinematic.
Olly explains "The song is about self preservation and wanting to hide from disaster. For the video we created a dystopian world and let ourselves loose in it."
