Lazy Queen have unveiled the video for their latest single
Option To Nothing – and it was initially shared in a surprising way…
The band’s ace new tune Option To Nothing was performed to random
people online via Omegle and ChatRoulette, with their filmed reactions now out
for all to see. Says Henrik García Søberg of this approach: “A central drive of
Lazy Queen has always been to make a genuine connection with people through the
music and thematics of the band, and to build a community. The very personal
connection with strangers through art was the most appealing to me as a fan,
and stays the same as a creator. And even though we were still making and
releasing music during the lockdowns, we realised there was this void that we
needed to fill – something was missing from the experience. We didn’t realise
this void even existed because it was never a question to not tour or play
live.
“And with the live industry still being a bit of a mess post-pandemic, we
thought that we could either sit around and wait for everything to stabilise
and wait for the opportunity to tour different countries, or we could go out
and search for ad create these much-needed connections in our own way.”
The track is taken from Lazy Queen’s upcoming EP Growing Pains,
which is due out on March 17, 2023.
