LUMP is the collaborative project from Laura Marling, the Grammy-nominated, BRIT award-winning singer-songwriter, and Mike Lindsay, the founding member of Tunng and Throws, and a prolific, Mercury Prize-winning producer. Their highly acclaimed self-titled debut was released in June via Dead Oceans.
Ahead of their show at London’s the Garage on November 21st, LUMP today share a new video for the single ‘May I Be The Light‘, directed and animated by multi-disciplinary musician and artist Beth Jeans Houghton.
“The video for ‘May I Be The Light’ is hand animated, meaning each frame is hand drawn on tracing paper and then placed in a sequence,” explains Houghton on the creation of the video. “I was fortunate enough to see LUMP at one of their live shows a while back and was blown away, so to be able to animate one of my favorite songs from their record was a delight. A feature of their live shows is Laura’s silence between songs. An enigmatic soul flanked by two energetic guitar players. I wanted to capture the ethereal quality of her presence through animation.”
