“It’s another day in the sprawling metropolis of Palo Santo and Years & Years have finished performing yet another cabaret in the decadent Grand Hall. Nothing but a few androids and a lonely janitor remain. They prepare to leave, yet, spotting the stage the band can’t help but perform… this is Years & Years – Sanctify live.”

“You don’t have to be straight with me, I see what’s underneath your mask. I’m a man like you, I breathe the rituals of the dancer’s dance,” sings frontman Olly Alexander, and the emotion is palpable.

This beautiful new track is the first taste of Years & Years’ hugely-anticipated forthcoming second album, Palo Santo. Watch the video below.
