White Lung Share New Video for 'Below'

  • Written by 

With just under week before they release their upcoming album, White Lung have shared the new video for their single ‘Below’

Directed by Richard Bates Jr, the video stars AnnaLynne McCord along with other Marilyn Monroe look-alikes.

Richard is known for his films Suburban Gothic and Excision

He said of the video, "White Lung play for an audience of impersonators who come to the realization that they've betrayed themselves in the pursuit of fame. ‘Below’ is a love-letter to influential female artists from the past.

“Our video serves to reinforce the notion that what makes an artist special cannot be manufactured."

The new LP, Paradise, is due out on Friday May 6 via Domino. White Lung have shared two tracks so far from their forthcoming album, ‘Hungry’ and ‘Kiss Me When I Bleed’

On the single ‘Below’, lead singer Mish Barber-Way said: "This is my Stevie-Nicks-meets-Celine Dion ballad, I needed to try to do a ballad about glamorous women.

“It's based on a quote by Camille Paglia, 'Beauty fades. Beauty is transient. That is why we value it,' she said. 'Feminism's failure to acknowledge that beauty is a value in itself, that even if a woman manages to achieve it for a particular moment, she has contributed something to the culture.'

“It's a song about the preservation of glamour and beauty."
