Years & Years - Foundation

With only a few weeks left to go until the release of their début studio album, entitled Communion, English trio Years & Years are at it again, releasing the music video for their track 'Foundation'. With a seemingly never-ending beat, the track is haunting and always feels as if it is building (a foundation) to something bigger.

 It makes perfect sense that this is the opening track of the album, and can really only be listened to in that context as otherwise it sounds a bit odd. If you however know that is the beginning to the album, everything seems to slot perfectly in place. There is a certain ominous nature of the song, whether it be the mysterious echoes in Olly's voice or the dark nature of the instrumentals, which is combined with the even creepier music video. 'Foundation' runs the risk of leaving listeners confused or wanting more, but this seems to be the very exact purpose of the track itself. 

Watch Olly get resurrected and team up with Emre and Mikey in the music video below:
