Post-hardcore supergroup L.S. Dunes released a new video last week for their latest single called “Grey Veins” off of their debut album Past Lives that was released last November on Fantasy Records. The video is a spoof on ‘70s Japanese b-movies. It features a mixture of live-action and Lego animation, as the band members fight larger-than-life foes.
“I’ve always said that if I couldn’t be in a band the only other thing I would want to do is to make monster movies,” says the band’s guitarist Frank Iero. “It’s been my dream ever since I was a little, and it was the thing my dad and I bonded over. From an early age, music and monsters is just something that went hand in hand for me.
“(Japanese film genre) Kaiju is something I have been fascinated by ever since I was a kid, and I have always wanted to do an homage to that art form in a music video. I love that L.S. Dunes is such an open-minded and inspiring collective of artists that allowed me to chase that idea and make that dream a reality. ‘Grey Veins’ felt like the perfect song to pair with this concept, and so when the time came, I knew David and Allie at My Good Eye, our frequent collaborators, were the perfect match to bring this to fruition.”
Past Lives is still available from L.S. Dunes’ web store. You can also follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to keep up with future updates.
