Vocalist/guitarist Nicole Papastavrou comments:
“We’re thrilled to showcase our more progressive elements in this new single, such as the use of Chris’ upright bass and a very special throat singing section by Alex Novick. Overall, ‘Lungta II: Everlasting’ is not only a departure from First Ascent, but takes a direction we hope to accomplish with the next record.
The music video resembles the physical and mental journey of climbing in the Himalayas. ‘Lungta’, meaning ‘Wind Horse’, resemble the prayer flags that bring goodwill, with red specifically resembling fire. We best used our imagination to bring to life the inward battle one must face when taking such journeys. We hope you enjoy the visuals and look forward to the release of First Ascent to follow.”
