Electronic-pop outfit Elder Island has unveiled the new music video for their track “Sacred” today.

The visual, which you can see below, was directed by Jordan Martin, who previously worked with the band on their visual for "Feral." When it comes to reuniting with the band, the director said:

“’Sacred’ was a great opportunity to collaborate with Elder Island again. We used microscopic imagery with crystalized hormones, vitamins, and even blood - elements inspired by the track. Manipulating the microscope to the tempo, we filmed with polarized light to create patterns and landscapes to represent the biochemistry of the body. We wanted to depict different emotional states and include a variety of people to make it universal. As you can't cast a large number of people during a pandemic, we used AI processing to generate faces to merge with Katy's face.”

“Sacred” stems from Elder Island’s forthcoming studio album Swimming Static, which will arrive on May 28. Pre-orders for the 10-track album can be made here.

This fall, Elder Island will be going on tour across the U.K. Tour dates can be seen below.
