Having previously become the fast selling single on Speedy Wunderground with debut single Generation Game released back in March, The Lounge Society follow up another slice of infectious brittle punk-funk with Burn The Heather.

Shared along with the accompanying video, director Nick Farrimond comments on the visual: "Born from the sense of injustice surrounding irresponsible land owners who clear heather from the moorland for grouse hunting, (resulting in increased flood risks below in the valley where we all live) we decided to portray caricatured versions of grouse hunters, dressed head to toe in tweed and showing total disregard for the landscape and devoid of any values, morals or ethics. The band play the parts of grouse, making their way across the moors, dressed in fetching red boiler suits and unaware of the impending danger they face. What ensues is general carnage as the grouse are hunted one by one, each meeting a grizzly, untimely end...or do they? You'll have to watch the video to find out."
