Florence and the Machine have always had a flair for the grandiose, and the Florence Welch-led project's latest video is no exception. It's for the track "Spectrum" from last year's Ceremonials.

The clip was co-directed by David LaChapelle, an artist and photographer who has previously created music videos for mega-stars like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse, and many more. Prior to "Spectrum," he hadn't made a video since 2007, so this has been highly anticipated.

This clip features pretty much everything you'd expect from a dramatic Florence song such as this: lavish staging, ornate costumes, a host of backup dancers and a truly crazy haircut for Florence.

LaChapelle directed the clip along with John Byrne. Take a look below.
