More about: Oscar Lang

The third single released from his eagerly awaited debut, Chew The Scenery, Oscar Lang continues his fine run of form with the illustrious ‘21st Century Hobby’.

It manages to capture all we love about Lang. From his scuzzy, lo-fi production, to his dashes of psychedelia, and often orchestral symphonies, Chew The Scenery is shaping up to be pretty good isn’t it?

The track explores the toxicity of social media and its negative effect on our mental health. On this Lang said:

“‘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. 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.”
