LUME SHARE NEW VIDEO “KEEP ME UNDER”
While the underlying meaning behind the video for “Keep Me Under” is finding beauty in the blandness of ordinary life, it chooses texture over narrative stylistically – leaving the viewer to interpret their own story.

Wrung Out is largely centered around a string of personal tragedies the band endured around the time they began work on the record. Wrung Out would become a memoriam to lost friends and a method of catharsis for the band as they went through the stages of grief.
