Lost Under Heaven, also known as LUH, released their debut album, Spiritual Songs for Lovers to Sing, in 2016. The project of former WU LYF frontman Ellery James Roberts along with visual artist Ebony Hoorn, the romantic couple-duo have recently shared two new songs: "The Breath of Life" and "Bunny's Blues." The latter is today's song of the day. With Hoorn on vocals, she presents an alter ego named Bunny. "Creating this character of Bunny began with a performance piece I did back in Amsterdam. She became a playful tool to confront how male-dominated society attempts to control both women and nature without having any real understanding or respect for their being and innate power," explains Hoorn. The character of Bunny is portrayed in the video for the song, directed by Hoorn. “I took inspiration from Cassavetes’ Killing Of A Chinese Bookie, Rainer Fassbinder’s Lola, and then the Giallo styling of Dario Argento and Jesus Franco to subvert the typical exploitative objectification of the female body,” she says. “Working with a small team, we designed and built all the sets in a friend’s basement.” There's no word currently on if there's a forthcoming EP or album.
