Skunk Anansie – have released their new single ‘Lost And Found

British rock icons SKUNK ANANSIE have released ‘Lost And Found’, their brand new single today, following its worldwide premiere on BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq show. A dramatic song, opening with Skin’s lone vocal before a staccato piano motif starts to accompany her, it’s a striking example of the beauty and drama contained on the band’s forthcoming album The Painful Truth, out on May 23^rd via FLG.
 
The video for ‘Lost And Found’ was scripted and directed by Skin. Shot in Munich by the band and India Fleming, the video tells the story of Skin splitting into two personalities after bumping into a demon (Mark Richardson) disguised as a human. The story is told backwards starting with ’Lost’ Skin bloody, bruised and broken, intermingled with her as ‘Found’ Skin performing with the band.
 
She comments, “We wanted to evoke the loneliness and desperation that can occur in a split second by one tiny mistake. Any of us at any time can lose the security built up over a lifetime whether it be via an accident, or a sudden twist of fate.”

The Painful Truth is a truly mesmerising, provocative, powerful and emotional album demonstrating a band at the absolute peak of their powers, yet with everything to prove. It is the sound of Skunk Anansie facing up to who they are and what they want to become. It is more than an album title. It is a reality that they have lived through.
