LAL - Dead Happiness
Vantage off the ledge
Entering their 20th year as a duo, LAL are bringing their “diasporic electronic” music to Toronto and beyond (VICE). Their new music video for “Dead Happiness” is a visual funhouse shrouding a dark theme. Wearing opalescent makeup and eye-catching costumes, vocalist Rosina Kazi and co. dance to producer Nicholas Murray’s complex soundscape. Kazi denounces the conformity and complacency that she sees around her, longing instead to express herself freely and pursue her own wants and needs.
In their own words, LAL wants “to give rise to compassion in a world that continually sells us cruelty. We aspire to make room for new ideas and ways of being that are connected to the past, while at the same time dancing with the future.”
