Glass Animals and Vevo Release Cosmic Short Film: "The Extremely Existentially Late Show"
Glass Animals and Vevo have taken their collaboration to new heights with the release of *The Extremely Existentially Late Show*, a visually mesmerizing short film that’s part of Vevo's Official Live Performance series. This isn’t just a regular live session—it’s an experience, one that takes viewers on a cosmic journey through space, with a retro-futuristic twist. If you’re ready for a blend of sci-fi vibes and raw musical energy, this one's for you.

The short film is a showcase of Glass Animals’ ethereal sound, featuring live renditions of “Creatures in Heaven,” “Show Pony,” and “A Tear in Space (Airlock).” Each song unfolds against a backdrop that merges custom-built real-world sets with trippy digital elements, transporting viewers to a whole new universe. And if that’s not quirky enough, the performance is hosted by a robotic television set, joined by a special guest—Krog the Deranged, played by frontman Dave Bayley’s dog, Woody.
The whole setup is like a late-night show from another dimension, channeling the wild spirit of classic 60s and 70s sci-fi flicks. The 18-meter-wide LED screen serves up stunning cosmic vistas, with rugged landscapes and swirling red sands that blur the lines between reality and fiction. Vevo’s Senior Vice President of Content, JP Evangelista, explained, “When we got the chance to create an entirely new planet for Glass Animals, we jumped at the opportunity.” And it shows—every frame is a visual feast that complements the band’s unique style.
Bringing the Galaxy Close to Home
Dave Bayley, the band's visionary lead, perfectly captures the heart of this project: “The world can seem so fast, enormous, and overwhelming sometimes... It can feel like a vacuum, like you’re just floating through space.” But Glass Animals’ music, he says, is about grounding yourself in what truly matters—human connection, the real stuff. And that’s what makes this performance so special. It’s a cosmic adventure that’s rooted in intimacy, an invitation to lose yourself in the vastness while remembering the ties that keep you grounded.
Fans of the new album will especially appreciate the live versions of these tracks. The raw, unfiltered energy of the performances adds depth and dimension to the already lush studio recordings. It’s a chance to experience the music in a way that feels spontaneous and alive, with all the quirks and unexpected moments that make live music so electrifying.
A Next-Level Collaboration with Vevo
Vevo’s Official Live Performances have long been a favorite among fans, offering exclusive content that feels tailor-made for each artist. For this project, Vevo and Glass Animals worked hand in hand to bring the band’s intergalactic vision to life. The result is a performance series that’s not only a treat for the ears but a total visual escape. It’s part of Vevo’s ongoing mission to connect artists with their global audiences, delivering content that’s as creatively ambitious as the musicians it features.
And with Vevo’s reach—over 25 billion views per month across every platform you can think of—you know this one’s going to make waves. Glass Animals have always been about pushing boundaries, and with *The Extremely Existentially Late Show*, they’ve taken that ethos to the next level.
So, if you’re craving a musical experience that’s as weird as it is wonderful, hit play on this one. Let Glass Animals and Vevo take you on a trip through the cosmos, where you’ll float, groove, and maybe even question your place in the universe—alongside Krog the Deranged, of course.
