Florence + The Machine Debuts ‘Queen Of Peace’ / ‘Long & Lost’ Mini-Film!

Florence + The Machine has always been quite the music video queen, but none of them have really come close to the visuals she’s been pouring out for her latest album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. They’re simply beyond!

The week, the fiery diva continues to upstage herself with the new video for “Queen Of Peace” and “Lost & Lost“! The ten-minute mini film, directed by Vincent Haycock, is an emotionally intense one, as we see Florence playing both victim and healer to her violent family. It’s a whole lot to take in so be prepared. “We filmed ‘Queen of Peace‘ and ‘Long & Lost‘ in Scotland, one of my favorite places I’ve ever been to or filmed. The coast of Scotland is breathtaking, beautiful and harsh, an aesthetic mix that both Florence and I have been very interested in during the making of these videos,” Haycock said in a statement. “The Scottish people are amazing and especially the town of Easdale, the small island that we lived on and filmed. We shot in the winter and it was cold, brutal and endlessly inspiring, which I think really helped the story of Florence’s struggle with her family, the younger innocence vs. the feuding violence of the men around her, etc. The end of the video was done in a single take, at the very last seconds of light during a stormy barge ride on a freezing sea. The effort and focus on both the actors and crew was so amazing, Florence delivers one of my favorite moments to date and it’s one of my proudest technical and narrative accomplishments.”
