Years & Years’ new album, “Palo Santo,” is out Friday, and they’ve just set the mood with a video for “All For You” that gives viewers a glimpse into the dystopian world of Palo Santo.
In Palo Santo, a world imagined by the group’s leader Olly Alexander, a population of androids organizes human cabarets in the hopes of experiencing real emotion.
The video for “All for You”—an infectious, club-ready track that premiered last week—finds Alexander reaching out to those “struggling to feel and are experiencing sensations of blankness, apathy or a strange tingling of the knees,” in a sort of faux infomercial in which he shares a number to call.
Throughout the video, which is described as a PSEN (Palo Santo Entertainment Network) “televisual exclusive, Alexander hawks wares such as a ship in a bottle and a ceramic cat while occupying a neon-lit set and taking calls from viewers.
“Palo Santo” is out Friday and will be supported by a UK and European tour in the fall that kicks off in Glasgow on November 28 and runs into early 2019. MKH
