Imagine Dragons are currently plotting their next album, and they came up with a perfect way to put it on the map. The music video for their new single “Eyes Closed” is here, and it serves as the fitting introduction to the band’s next era.
The music video for the band’s latest song was directed by Andrew Donoho, and it looks straight out of Indian Jones movies. It sees the frontman Dan Reynolds embarking on an epic adventure in an ancient dreamlike world, but it’s later revealed these were just visions he was having after a car crash.
“Eyes Closed” is one of Imagine Dragons’ most experimental songs to date, and it blends together the elements of rap, rock, pop, and dubstep. Reynolds revealed its lyrics came together after the band took some time off the road, allowing him to go back to the sonic places that originally brought him the most joy.
“The world looks much different after being a band for more than a decade. But some things will always remain the same. It’s finding that right balance of nostalgia and freshness that brings me the most joy in the studio. We had a lot of fun making this one and hope you enjoy it too,” said Reynolds in a statement.
