09 October 2024, 13:16 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Vevo 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 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 Dave’s dog Woody.

“When we got the chance to create an entirely new planet for Glass Animals, we jumped at the opportunity. The band has a distinct and colorful style in their visuals, which also integrates a lot of elements from science and technology. For this Official Live Performance, we drew inspiration from classic 60s and 70s sci-fi films to create a retro-futuristic aesthetic that toed the line between reality and fiction,” said JP Evangelista, SVP, Content, Programming & Marketing, at Vevo.

"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 space. On a made up intergalactic late-night show. With special guest, Krog the Deranged. Disclaimer: may induce confusion and existential crisis."

The Extremely Existentially Late Show is out now.
