Lisa Moorish follows up the success of her ‘Sylvia’ single with ‘The Hunger’, an alternative pop song loosely based on the 1980s gothic vampire romance film of the same name.

“Directed by Tony Scott, The Hunger features some of my favourite actors and artists of all time,” Lisa says, “including David Bowie, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve and a very young Willem Dafoe, plus the band Bauhaus.”

Drawing on themes explored in the film, Lisa explains how the main character in the story has an encounter with a dark, enigmatic, mysterious character. “A craving then builds into a frenzied desire, until they can’t avoid or ignore it. A sickness develops if you don’t get your fix.

“I guess you could say that it touches on co-dependence and addiction with or to other humans,” Lisa adds.

‘The Hunger’ is the second single to be taken from Lisa’s upcoming album ‘Divine Chaos’, to be released this summer on Out Yer Box, the sister label to Irvine Welsh’s Jack Said What imprint. It’s Lisa’s first album for 20 years.

The remix comes from These Machines, who puts a slightly Soulwax slant on proceedings to produce a chunky, electro-tinged house revamp for the club floors.
