Prior to the release of last year’s How Big How Blue How Beautiful, Florence and the Machine hooked up with director Vincent Haycock to record videos for seven of the album’s songs – whilst all pretty spectacular in their own right, all visuals were part of a bigger-plan to create The Odyssey, a sub 50-minute mini-movie that told the record’s full story from start to finish.
Today, the seventh (and final) piece of the puzzle has been revealed, with the clip for Third Eye which you can watch below. Florence Welch has chimed in on the creation of The Odyssey, saying:
This is the finale of a very personal project that came from a conversation me and Vince had in the Chateau Marmont about a year and a half ago while I was writing How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. I was talking to him about the record and the car crash of a relationship break up I was going through. The highs and the lows of love and performance, how out of control I felt, the purgatory of heartbreak, and how I was trying to change and trying to be free. And we decided we would re-tell this story in full.
Florence is set to complete her HBHBHB world tour later this year, hitting Hyde Park’s British Summer Time, alongside Jamie xx and Kendrick Lamar. Tickets for the July 2nd show are onsale now via the widget below; whilst you can watch videos for both Third Eye and The Odyssey underneath:
