Oscar Lang has had enough of social media with his new song, ’21st Century Hobby’

Oscar Lang has dropped another teaser from his upcoming debut album, ’21st Century Hobby’.

His first full-length, ‘Chew The Scenery’ follows on from loads of EPs – three from last year alone – and will arrive on 13th August via Dirty Hit.

“‘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,” says Oscar. “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.”

He adds: “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.”
