Bastille have shared the new video for their Quarter Past Midnight single.

The track is the first cut to be taken from their forthcoming as-yet-untitled album, which follows 2013's Bad Blood and 2016's Wild World.

Watch the video here, in which Dan Smith's distinctive hair is attacked with a razor before he heads out on a very weird night out. Smith says of the video: "“We made the video over a couple of days and nights in Paris. It’s is a nod towards some of our favourite films and directors. Like the album as a whole, it’s a surreal journey through euphoric highs and lows of a night, and all that comes with it: the escapism, warped realities, and unclear memories.”

Speaking about the new record, frontman Dan Smith told Radio X's Gordon Smart: "The album charts a small period of time. It's a bit of a night time record and it's about sort of losing yourself in the night."
