With a big year ahead including an upcoming support slot with
Bloodywood, and some summer festivals, Lake Malice are kicking things off with
a bang.
The duo have just unleashed new banger Stop The Party, which very
honestly details vocalist Alice Guala’s mental health struggles after the pandemic.
“When things went back to normal, I felt like there was a veiled
expectation for people to catch-up on social events – from birthday parties to
gigs and festivals,” she shares. “As a person who suffered with anxiety and
depression most of her adult life, it was extremely difficult to switch my
social skills back on, and that’s when my depression reached its lowest points –
hence wanting to ‘stop the party’, where the party represents life.”
Of the accompanying video – which is inspired by The Last Of
Us – Alice continues: “We knew we wanted the video to be a party, but then
we added the zombie element to represent that feeling of unease and anxiety you
can easily get, being in a social setting. So yeah, it turned out to be a
zombie party.”
