The album documents a transitional period in Hung\u2019s life; a stepping out from the shadows. Hung explores the deepest recesses of his psyche and in doing so finds himself reconciling the light and dark within. Underlying the propulsive beats and flashes of noise is a melodic tenderness that weaves throughout the album; an offering hand emerging from a turbulent sky. The deepening of inner space becomes an exploration of the universal; a new beginning from the devastations of old worlds.<br><br>Speaking about the album Hung says,\u00a0<em>&#8220;Devastations is a breaking out from the prisms of perceptions into the infinite hope we all hold deep inside.<\/em><br><br>Alongside the release, Hung has also shared a video for album closer <em>Goodbye<\/em>. The cathartic new song is a fitting end to the new album, transcending Hung&#8217;s glitchy electronic sensibilities with\u00a0emphatic instrumentation, which repeatedly peaks before fragmenting and reassembling around Hung&#8217;s\u00a0sanguine vocals.<br><br>Going on to speak about\u00a0the track, he says\u00a0<em>&#8220;My songs are my subconscious talking to itself, and this is about how it tried to say goodbye to itself. Well in a way it succeeded because the excavation of self I underwent has allowed my subconscious to breathe again. I hope.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>Watch the video for <em>Goodbye<\/em> via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jdge6za4AdY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Goodbye<\/em> is the fourth single to be taken from Hung\u2019s new album, following shortly after <a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/andrew-hung-shares-video-for-new-single-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Andrew Hung shares video for new single \u2018Wave\u2019\"><em>Wave<\/em><\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/andrew-hung-shares-new-single-promises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Andrew Hung shares new single \u2018Promises\u2019\"><em>Promises<\/em><\/a>, which was accompanied by a video directed by cult director Jim Hosking, who Hung has previously worked with soundtracking \u2018The Greasy Strangler\u2019 (winner best comedy at the Empire awards) and \u2018An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn\u2019. The video features Joe Walters, who starred in \u2018The Greasy Strangler\u2019. \u00a0<br><br>Prior to that,Hung released <em><a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/andrew-hung-shares-new-single-space-announces-new-solo-album\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Andrew Hung shares new single \u2018Space\u2019 + announces new solo album\">Space<\/a><\/em>, which was the first track lifted from the album, earning critical acclaim from the likes of Stereogum, The Line Of Best Fit, Brooklyn Vegan, CLASH and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Devastations\u2019 also marks Andrew\u2019s first new solo material since his 2017 breakthrough debut \u2018Realisationship\u2019, which saw him shatter expectations with his bold and unique new direction of expression, earning plaudits across a vast array of press and radio.<br><br>As co-founder of the highly influential noise-electronic duo, Fuck Buttons, Hung\u2019s work has brought about three critically acclaimed albums as well as seeing him tour extensively with headline shows at the Kentish Town Forum, Glastonbury, Green Man and All Tomorrow\u2019s Parties, as well as having music featured on the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.<br><br>Since Fuck Button\u2019s hiatus, Hung has become known not only for his solo material, but also for his work on film soundtracks and as a songwriter and producer. Notable songwriting collaborations include the likes of artist Beth Orton on her career redefining album \u2018Kidsticks\u2019 as well as, Aim\u00e9e Osbourne for her debut album \u2018Vacare Adamar\u00e9\u2019 (released under the name ARO).<br><br>\u2018Devastations\u2019 sees Andrew Hung push himself to the fore with his most candid and introspective material to date and sees a clear statement of intent in his creative odyssey. Hung wrote, performed, produced and mixed the whole album himself. He also painted the self-portrait that adorns the cover of the album. The oil painting further illuminates the artist\u2019s intentions in his work; it depicts the artist stepping out of a shadowy world, partially lit by the bright light of the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i3.cmail19.com\/ei\/j\/DE\/192\/FBD\/022525\/csfinal\/LEX152_cover_lo-res_600x600px-9900000000079e3c.jpg?resize=794%2C794\" alt=\"\" width=\"794\" height=\"794\"\/><figcaption><em>Album artwork by Andrew Hung<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>Devastations\u2019 track list<\/strong><br>1.
