‘Waves’ will be available via digital download from 28/8/15. It will also receive a limited 7” vinyl release of only 500 copies.
Produced by MJ from Hookworms in his Leeds studio, it combines distorted organs and synths with fuzz guitars and a driving chorus of ‘uplifting misery’.
‘Waves’ follows the bands first two singles, ‘Mouthwash’ and ‘Temptation’ which DIY dubbed a “glistening, new wave-nodding exciting debut” and XFM and Radio 1 dutifully delivered support by spinning on several occasions and with 6Music crowning the single the winner of their rebel playlist.
Lusts are brothers Andy and James Stone from Leicester evoking both the classic woozy chorus’ and reverb laden guitars of Echo and the Bunnymen and the new wave pop sensibilities of Beach Fossils.
The brothers explain the creative process behind the making of the video to Waves:
“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.”
Following successful appearances across the summer at various festivals including Secret Garden Party, Lusts continue to build their live presence with further UK/EU dates across September and a full UK headline tour in November:

Documentary
Dior and I brings the viewer inside the storied world of the Christian Dior fashion house with a privileged, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Raf Simons' first haute couture collection as its new artistic director-a true labor of love created by a dedicated group of collaborators. Melding the everyday, pressure-filled components of fashion with mysterious echoes from the iconic brand's past, the film is also a colorful homage to the seamstresses who serve Simons' vision

Documentaire
Regisseur Frédéric Tcheng maakte eerder prachtige films over de modewereld zoals Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel en Valentino: The Last Emperor. Nu presenteert hij een nieuw meesterwerk over een legendarisch mode-instituut. In Dior And I krijgen we een unieke inkijk in de doorgaans gesloten wereld van Modehuis Christian Dior. Tcheng volgt de Belgische ontwerper Raf Simons die als de nieuwe artistiek directeur van Dior zijn eerste haute couture-collectie creëert. De verwachtingen van de buitenwereld zijn hooggespannen. Van de eerste ideeën tot de uiteindelijke modeshow zien we hoe de onverstoorbare Simons en zijn toegewijde, charmante en vaak humoristische medewerkers energiek en liefdevol te werk gaan.
Een magische film waarin Tcheng de dagelijkse druk in het modehuis laat voelen, een elegante buiging maakt naar de geschiedenis van Dior en een hommage brengt aan de naaisters in het atelier.
Cast: Raf Simons, Marion Cotillard, Anna Wintour.
