Yung Lean (Jonatan Leandoer) is fearsome in "STORM" a new double-single and music video by multidisciplinary duo, GENER8ION (DJ Surkin and director Romain Gavras).

In "STORM," Leandoer stars as a brutish bully in an all-boys British boarding school. With a penchant for hijinks (including disassembling public infrastructure and creating a quasi-fight club), Leandoer's character is genuinely unnerving, performed by the Swedish rapper with moxie and commitment.

GENER8ION, the audio-visual collaboration between Surkin and Gavras first began four years ago with "Neo Surf" featuring 070 Shake. Surkin is a DJ and electronic musician associated with the French Touch 2.0 generation (the same scene that produced the likes Justice and Daft Punk). Gavras has made zeitgeist-defining music videos for the likes of M.I.A., Justice, and Ye and Jäy Z. -The Fader
