YEARS & YEARS Announce New Album ‘Palo Santo’

Years & Years  have released trailer for their upcoming short film narrated by Dame Judi Dench.

Years & Years have confirmed details of their highly anticipated second album Palo Santo, to be released on July 6th via Polydor Records.

The album announcement follows their previous single Sanctify and comes with the first official trailer for the band’s short film (of the same name), featuring Years & Years front-man Olly Alexander, as well as the legendary Academy Award-winning actress Dame Judi Dench.

Having teased fans for months, the bold concept behind Years & Years’ second album is further explored in the upcoming short film directed by Fred Rowson and starring Olly Alexander, Dame Judi Dench and cult Thai actor Vithaya Pansringarm amongst others. The record takes its name from a sacred wood but, in the densely woven fictional backstory of the music video and short film, Palo Santo has also become a city on a distant planet, on which human beings are a rare commodity, worshipped and idolized by an android society. Olly, along with the final humans, is recruited to perform in a series of bizarre erotic cabarets, for an artificial master known only as The Showman.
