Cambridge-based four-piece Lemondaze announce their new EP subtext, out 5 December via Venn Records, and share lead single ‘polari’.
‘polari’ is a thrilling preview of subtext, with distorted layers of dreamy vocals and shimmering guitars. Lyricist and vocalist Isis de Chastelain shares the following:
“I wrote the lyrics after we played Green Man Festival in 2022; it was the most magical time in the most beautiful place with my best friends. The track itself has this nostalgic feeling to me, summer, getting drunk with your best friends, being young. That’s what the lyrics are for me, going ride or die on the craziest adventure with the people that mean the most to you. The song itself came together during a Covid-fuelled fever dream when Finn and I were quarantining together. It was 4 days of playing Lego Batman and Halo 3, making Swedish meatballs and writing ‘polari’ (it was originally called ‘eggs box 420’ – lol).”
