Royal Blood Conjure Urban Typhoon In New Video

Royal Blood's "Typhoons" visuals take the track's name literally. In the video, Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher start playing the song from the roof of a skyscraper. The soundwaves emanate through the city and catch the ears of fans who quickly run towards its source. When they arrive on the roof, they surround the band in a circle, as a cyclone twirls overhead.

Watch the video above.

"Typhoons" is the title track off Royal Blood's upcoming third album.

"Typhoons is what it sounds like to be truly lost in your own thoughts to a hellish extent but also about how dark spells, much like storms are not permanent," the duo captioned an announcement post on Instagram last week.

"This song was one those special moments where the process didn’t resemble writing whatsoever. More like being tethered to the earth, receiving holy lightning," they continued. "Look after each other and crank this until you see smoke."

Like the album's lead single "Trouble's Coming," the new track sees the UK rockers explore their groovier side. “We sort of stumbled on this sound, and it was immediately fun to play,” Kerr explained in a statement.“That’s what sparked the creativity on the new album, the chasing of that feeling. It’s weird, though - if you think back to ‘Figure it Out,’ (from debut album) it kind of contains the embryo of this album. We realized that we didn’t have to completely destroy what we’d created so far; we just had to shift it, change it. On paper, it’s a small reinvention. But when you hear it, it sounds so fresh.”

Typhoons is slated for an April 30 release via Warner Bros. Records.
