Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, has announced the release of Glass Animals’ short film, The Extremely Existentially Late Show, as part of Vevo’s Official Live Performance series.

The short film features special performances of ‘Creatures In Heaven’, ‘Show Pony’ and ‘A Tear In Space (Airlock)’, all introduced by a robotic television set host accompanied by a special guest: a dog, named ‘Krog The Deranged’ – played by band frontman Dave Bayley’s dog Woody.

“The world can seem so fast, enormous, and overwhelming sometimes. It can feel like a vacuum and pull you off your feet to the point where you just feel detached and lost and a bit like…well…you’re just floating through space.” Says Dave, “The songs on this album are about the opposite of that….human connections and relationships and personal moments…and how those things, though not always easy, are more important and actually much larger and infinitely complex than everything else combined. So here we are, performing those incredibly personal songs. Transmitted through the vastness space. On a made up intergalactic late-night show. With special guest, Krog the Deranged. Disclaimer: may induce confusion and existential crisis.”

Incorporating the band’s new album’s theme around space, the Vevo team created Glass Animals’ cosmic universe through blending custom real-life builds with bespoke digital elements. Viewers are taken through the cosmos with rugged landscapes shaped with red sand, illustrated on a cinematic 18m wide LED screen.
