Glass Animals Become One With Nature In “Psylla” Video

Following their tremendous, Paul Epworth-backed double A-side consisting of the undeniable singles, “Black Mambo” and “Exxus,” the up-and-coming Oxford outfit Glass Animals bring us “Psylla,” a hypnotizing cut to be featured on their debut record out in early 2014 via Epworth’s Wolf Tone.

The eerie- and almost disturbing- video for “Psylla” finds the band members lying motionless and injured in the woods, slowly being overtaken by plant life that grows from their own wounds. There’s also some odd stop-motion segments that only add to the video’s curiousness but it all fits the single exactly as it should. In regards to the theme, frontman David Bayley states, “I grew up surrounded by trees, and as a kid books like The Wind in the Willows, and The Jungle Book were all I read. We rehearse in the woods outside Oxford, which got those stories spinning around my head again and bled into the music.”

Watch the video (via Nowness) after the jump and if you haven’t picked up the band’s double A-side release, you can get a signed copy on vinyl here.
