Florence and the Machine have posted a video for Big God.
The track, which features Kamasi Washington and was co-written by Jamie xx, is the latest to be lifted from 'High As Hope', which is set to arrive on June 29 via Virgin EMI.
The video, meanwhile, was directed by Autumn de Wilde and choreographed by Akram Khan and Florence Welch, who said:
"‘Big God’ was written about that feeling when someone has not replied to your text, the modern phenomenon of ‘ghosting’ which is one of my favourite words but not my favourite feeling. I was describing it to someone and they said to me ‘you need a big god’, as if the need in me were so cavernous it would take something enormous to fill it. Probably something bigger than a text message.
It’s always been a very physical song, I saw a dance piece in my head as I was writing it, so to co choreograph something with Akram Khan was a huge honour. Autumn de Wilde fully understood what I was trying to do. The power of the desire within the void. Left with yourself to rage and wonder. And really it is yourself you are raging against. Not the ghost.”
The band will support the new record with North American and UK tours. Check below for dates.
