Filmed in Chippendale, Sydney, the visuals offer an electrifying accompaniment that depict the highs and lows of an unpredictable relationship, alongside a darker subplot. As Luu explains: “I wanted to capture the essence, movements and feelings of love and the passion of being alive — of being children of the hour. We are all main characters in our life movie: wading in so much magic, it sometimes takes loss or time passing for us to realise the beauty and joy we were living. All we can do is be brave, do our best and try and have as much fun as possible while we still can — who knows how and when this movie will end!”

Having already shared a string of singles Dande And The Lion comprise dual vocalists Natassa Zoe (guitar) and Abbey Gardner (synth), along with Chris Gabriel (drums) and Nicholas Shea (bass). Latest offering ‘Children of the Hour’ is a bright & vibrant blend of breezy indie-rock with an electropop edge with an irresistible chorus. Discussing the track vocalist Natassa Zoe comments: ”’Children of the Hour’ centres around the push and pull within an intimate relationship: the idea of meeting someone who takes you completely off-guard and shakes up your world in a totally unexpected way. So much so that you start creating excuses to see them and thinking about a future with them. But despite all of those feelings it never quite matches up: for whatever reason you’re both just out of touch.
