Official Live Performances are the flagship original content for Vevo, working with the biggest names in music – they are the result of close creative collaboration with artists and their teams, resulting in a series of very special exclusive performances. Specifically tailored creatives meant to fit the vision of each artist chosen, these performances connect artists with their global audience of fans adding to their visual library.
“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 Bayley. “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 of space. On a made-up intergalactic late-night show. With special guest, Krog the Deranged. Disclaimer: may induce confusion and existential crisis.”
Incorporating the new album’s theme around space, the Vevo team created Glass Animals’ cosmic universe by blending custom real-life builds with bespoke digital elements. Viewers are taken through the cosmics with rugged landscapes shaped with red sand, illustrated on a cinematic 18m wide LED screen.
