Oscar Lang reveals the video for ’21st Century Hobby’

The track is taken from his upcoming debut album ‘Chew The Scenery’.

With his eagerly-awaited debut album ‘Chew The Scenery’ now set to arrive on 13th August on Dirty Hit, Oscar Lang is sharing the video for ’21st Century Hobby’.

“‘21st Century Hobby’ is a tune based on the idea of society’s obsession with sharing your life online and comparing yourself to other people,” Oscar explains. “There was one point where I was spending 13 hours a week on social media, which equated to about a month every year. That was a really dark time for me - I always thought that it would never affect me, but it took some time to realise that it was subconsciously affecting my mental health.

“With the ‘21st Century Hobby’ video, I wanted to bring to life the experience of scrolling endlessly on social media into physical characters dancing around me to show the chaos and over-the-top-ness of everyday online activity.”
