L.S. Dunes have released a statement about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in their new music video for the song ‘Old Wounds’.The video was created by generative art maker IAMMETHISISI, and a teaser for it was posted to the band’s social media on Tuesday (September 26).
Upon receiving criticism for using generative AI, the band shared a statement to “clear some things up”.“L.S. Dunes and its collective members have been longtime supporters and advocates of artists of all kinds,” the statement read.
“Over the years, we have commissioned art pieces from well-known professional artists, unknown semi-professional artists, and fans of the band just starting out and creating things for fun.“We have searched out these talented artists that inspire us from all walks of life and worked with them in a multitude of different ways, showcasing their work on as large a platform as we could provide.” they added.The statement goes on to note that IAMMETHISISI’s art felt pertinent to the lyrical themes of ‘Old Wounds’, which is why they wanted to enlist the art maker to create the clip.“The conversation surrounding generative art draws a parallel to that in many ways,” the band wrote. “It’s clear that our vision for this particular video has sparked a dialogue of opposing views, and got people thinking and talking and feeling without even seeing the entire video.
Isn’t that what art should do?”“Love it or hate it, the choice is yours – as it should be,” the statement concluded. “We know we aren’t going to please everyone all the time.”A post shared by L.S.

Will Smith has returned to Instagram amid all of Jada Pinkett Smith’s revelations about their relationship.
The video features Sivan performing a lap dance for actor Ross Lynch, who is already well-known for his roles in series like the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, not to mention his considerable online following who thirsts after him on the regular.The visual is undeniably provocative, regardless of the gender or sexual identity of those involved, and thus it fits perfectly with this era of Sivan’s career.“One of Your Girls” goes deep into the sexual experiences that Sivan had with men who have yet to fully embrace their sexual identity, or who simply are straight but love a little man action on the side.Sivan shared his thoughts on these moments with People, noting that some of those men “would’ve bullied me in high school, and now here they are paying me attention.”He further opened up about past entanglements with these men, stating that “at the sacrifice of my own self-worth, I’m throwing myself at them.”He added that once he did so, “then you’re really just at their beck and call, and that can sometimes not feel so great.”With his new single, Sivan provides a thought-provoking perspective on the complex topic of hooking up with men who identify as straight, challenging the notion that such encounters are purely titillating.While there can indeed be an allure, there is a downside to these experiences, and Sivan isn’t afraid to candidly share his feelings and insights on these encounters, a viewpoint that is not often discussed openly.“One of Your Girls” is the latest focal point from Sivan’s highly-anticipated album, Something To Give Each Other.The full-length release coincided with the music video debut and represents one of the most eagerly awaited pop music releases of 2023.To provide a taste of the set, Sivan
