Frequent Florence + the Machine collaborator Vincent Haycock, who&nbsp;previously helmed the initial chapters of&nbsp;How Big How Blue How Beautiful&nbsp;series - including&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/03/27/florence-machine-st-jude-vincent-haycock" target="_blank">St. Jude</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/02/16/florence-machine-what-kind-man-vincent-haycock" style="text-decoration: underline; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">What Kind of Man</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/04/15/florence-machine-ship-wreck-vincent-haycock" target="_blank">Ship to Wreck</a>&nbsp;- captivates us with this ten-minute piece&nbsp;featuring the tracks&nbsp;Queen of Peace and Long And Lost.&nbsp;The&nbsp;short&nbsp;film&nbsp;feels&nbsp;part of&nbsp;the same world&nbsp;Haycock and Welch&rsquo;s have created for&nbsp;The Odyssey series, although it was shot in&nbsp;Scotland&rsquo;s lush Isle of Easdale.&nbsp;This consistency is due in part to the continued&nbsp;exploration of conflict through contemporary dance employed&nbsp;to express each&nbsp;facet of the story.In&nbsp;previous videos,&nbsp;Welch is seen fighting against the painful dissolution of a relationship&nbsp;and what is left of herself afterwards, but this new proposition takes&nbsp;us back into her past, during her&nbsp;formative experiences as a child. The drama depicts the&nbsp;clash of a youthful Welch&rsquo;s compassion against the violent feuding around her. The raw emotional performance of Welch is artfully set against the&nbsp;striking winter landscapes of Scotland.The Odyssey is&nbsp;set to cover all tracks in the album through this year and into&nbsp;2016, and will culminate in a long, chaptered musical film.&nbsp;

Florence + The Machine 'Queen Of Peace' and 'Long & Lost' by Vincent Haycock

Florence-+-The-Machine-'Queen-Of-Peace-And-Long-&-Lost'-by-Vincent-Haycock

The tempestuous&nbsp;Florence Welch and director Vincent Haycock are back with a new instalment in a&nbsp;series of videos for her upcoming album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, and once again&nbsp;reality transforms into something far more theatrical,&nbsp;as Florence is caught in an intense struggle with her self-destructive alter-ego. Acting up like a monstrous tantrum-throwing&nbsp;inner child, this alternative Florence is played by&nbsp;Deena Thompson, who also featured Welch and Haycock&#39;s lovely video for&nbsp;<a href="https://vimeo.com/123356471">St Jude</a>.&nbsp;For Ship To Wreck,&nbsp;the setting moves to London, but the visual style and themes established in the previous videos remains -&nbsp;flowing camerawork, passionate relationships evoked through drama and modern dance.This has a&nbsp;stronger&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on Florence&#39;s personal demons, shot through with wry humour, as she storms through life in a&nbsp;flurry of violent outbursts and&nbsp;sleeping pills...
