King Nun have released a video for their latest single, Hung Around.
The song, which follows up last year's Tulip and its b-side, Speakerface, is due for release on May 5 through Dirty Hit.
In a statement about the video, the band said:
"For the video we wanted something surreal, something unhinged and violent that matched its recording and our intent for its performance. We wanted a clear physical restriction to us as we were playing, as we had the video for our previous single ‘Tulip’ which took the form of the tiny yellow four walled room. A need for a restriction to overcome came from our days practicing in rehearsal rooms that were too small, too grey and broken. We went to Youth Hymns and shared these ideas. They had a rough idea with similar themes which eventually became the video we have today: a B movie inspired, David Lynch-ish looking video where we are slowly hypnotised and strangled by alien tentacles as the song progresses.”
The London quartet are currently on the road with labelmates Pale Waves and Superfood for the Dirty Hit tour, which continues tonight in Leeds and wraps up with shows in Belfast and Dublin in early April.
The band have also lined up a number of festival appearances for the coming months, including Live At Leeds, The Great Escape, Latitude and Reading and Leeds.
