Arriving after last month's "You Had Your Soul With You", "Light Years" lands with another accompanying visual from their 24-minute short film directed by Mike Mills and starring Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider, Ex Machina).
Their upcoming follow-up to 2017's Sleep Well Beast features contributions from Sharon Van Etten, Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Lisa Hannigan, Mina Tindle, and more.
I Am Easy To Find was mostly recorded at Long Pond, Hudson Valley, New York, with other sessions taking place across multiple continents, including cities such as Paris, Berlin, Cincinnati, Austin, Dublin, Brooklyn and more.
