Lusts Announce New LP 'Call Of The Void', Stream New Single "True Romance"

Leicester alternative/new wave duo Lusts (aka brothers Andy and James Stone) have announced the release of their new album titled 'Call Of The Void'.

The follow-up to 2015's debut 'Illuminations' will be out on November 16. Pre-order your copy here.

About the record, the duo say: “The album is about the feeling of standing on the edge of something high up and getting the urge to jump, it’s not necessarily about a death wish, more, paradoxically, it’s about wanting to live and how the mind has strange ways of expressing that. We felt like it’s a really accurate reflection of what we want to achieve musically - some of what we create could be seen as being quite dark thematically, but there’s a positivity to what we do, there’s a light there even in the darkness, and we want to uncover and explore that.”

They have also shared their new single "True Romance". Take a listen below the album's tracklist.

Tracklist:
01. I Promise to Be Good
02. Heavy Thoughts
03. Lost Highway

New Entry: Lusts Premiere New Single "Lost Highway"

Leicester alternative/new wave duo Lusts (aka brothers Andy and James Stone) have premiered their catchy new single "Lost Highway".

About the track, Andy Stone said: “‘lost highway' is an idealized and romanticized vision, it’s about finding a place where no-one knows who you are, your past, or your future. It is partially inspired by Jean Baudrillard’s book ‘America’ and his observations as he travels across the country. The quote, ‘Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. Everything is to be discovered, everything to be obliterated’ resonated with us and made us want to create this track. It’s about the everything and nothing-ness of escape.”

The song is out now. Grab it here, and stream it below.

New Entry: Lusts Premiere New Single "Ten Years"

Leicester alternative/new wave duo Lusts (aka brothers Andy and James Stone) have premiered their new single "Ten Years".

About the track, the band sais: ‘Ten Years’ is a song that challenges us. It’s about artificial intelligence, it’s about romance, nostalgia, disappointment, gender, and memories. It’s a collision of thoughts that ask us who we are, what we’ll be, as well as reflecting on what we’re not. Part of the song was written by generative A.I. and we wrote the rest. Who contributed more is still open to debate."

The song is taken from Lusts new EP 'Heavy Thoughts', out now. Grab it here, and stream it below.

New Entry: Lusts Return With New Single "Heavy Thoughts"

Leicester alternative/new wave duo Lusts (aka brothers Andy and James Stone) have returned with their brand new single "Heavy Thoughts".

With lyrics partly inspired by J.G Ballard’s High Rise, Andrew speaks on the track:

“We always want to juxtapose ideas and themes — looking for a utopia in the darkness. We wanted to create a song that simultaneously revelled in destructiveness, whilst also critiquing it. The book really shocked me growing up, and continues to do so. This track is about pushing us to explore parts of ourselves and the people around us.”

The track was also inspired by the immersive visuals of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker, James saying:

“As writers, we’re constantly drawn to how visual imagery can explain a feeling in a more honest and visceral way than a description ever could. We want to create alternative landscapes and worlds to dive into and lose yourself for awhile.”

The band released their debut album 'Illuminations' in 2015.

Buy the single here and stream it below.

Watch: Lusts Premiere Music Video For "Waves"

Leicester alternative/new wave duo Lusts have premiered the video for their current single "Waves".

The song is part of our current playlist and is out now. Get it here.

About the video the band posted: "From the start, the intention for the Waves video was to explore imagery beyond the obvious route of water, and instead focus on the lyrics and the meaning of the song. We sat down with the directors Youth Hymns and discussed our different ideas for visually representing this.

We were inspired by Virginia Woolf’s ‘The Waves’, the visuals of oscilloscopes, and the idea of constant movement, of a force beyond your control pulling you towards something. Then came their idea of the tunnel, an almost b-movie vibe, and a character falling down with us. The video has a kind of gothic, hypnotic feel, which pays homage to the aesthetics of cult sci-fi and horror. With added Jazzmasters."
