The groups second album ‘Vanities’ released in the summer of 2021, was a bold electronic leap forward into the dance music they love.
New video ‘Kaya’ is a hypnotising visual piece, opening the film is a painting by Joel Burden, the artist behind the whole visual language of Vanities and is directed by Craig McLaughlin.
“The original thought behind any creative venture begins life as a feeling, a sensation, which the artist then fumbles into the physical world.” singer Joesph Evans. “Original inspiration for this video came from David Hockney’s timelapse iPad paintings. The creature who is chased into the studio is inspired by the Japanese movement art of Butoh.”

Lung are pioneering the industry right now, releasing some of the most immersive compositions. “Kaya” is exactly that and the hypnotic energy captured in the track is reflected into the creative film to accompany the single release. “Kaya” closes out W.H.
