Collaboration with Andrea Arnold
“Andrea Arnold graciously crafted a sequence for our song ‘Bug,’ featuring Barry Keoghan as Bug in her upcoming movie Bird,” shared O’Connell. “‘Bug’ was a song that came together swiftly and resonated with everyone almost instantly. The combination of Bug’s character, the tattoo ‘Bug’s Life,’ Andrea’s unique and romantic worlds, and the line ‘Changed my name to “Promise you, Yea”’ creates a compelling and undeniable narrative. We are immensely grateful to Andrea Arnold for allowing us a glimpse into her visionary universe. She will be remembered alongside the likes of Bacon or Goya.”
