WATCH: Declan McKenna shares new video for album opener ‘Humongous’

Ahead of a summer that will see his debut album release, and festival appearances including Glastonbury, Y Not?, and Reading and Leeds, Declan McKenna has unveiled details, and the accompanying video, for his new single ‘Humongous.’

Talking about the track, McKenna said: “This was the last song I wrote for the record, not to pick a favourite child but I think this might be, definitely a step in the direction I’m heading in, I love big powerful choruses that you can just scream, and I wanted this to be one of those.

“I remember writing it just sat home alone with my sister’s guitar in complete euphoria with only a chorus written and nothing else, just shouting the words which are super vague but just summed up all the confusion and frustration I’ve had the last two years.”

And accompanying the huge track, the video sees Declan take us on a trippy journey of giant heads on rollerblades, cats in suits and an octopus… You have to see it to believe it.

Watch the ‘Humongous’ video below:
