A day after sharing the single “No Hotel,” Lykke Li has announced the new album Eyeye. The album, pronounced “Eye,” is out May 20 (via PIAS/Crush). Li made Eyeye, described in a press release as “an immersive audiovisual album,” with her I Never Learn collaborator Björn Yttling. Watch a preview for the album below.
Theo Lindquist directed the visual component of Eyeye, and it was shot by cinematographer Edu Grau on 16-millimeter film. “We wanted to capture the beauty and grandeur of a three-hour European arthouse movie, while making something native to modern media,” Lykke Li said in a statement. “The intention is to deliver the full impact of a movie in sixty seconds on a phone screen, which is where most of our emotional experiences happen now anyway.”
