Live review: IDLES, London Alexandra Palace
Bristol punks IDLES show Ally Pally a good time and the potential for a better world at epic London love-in
“What this song conveys isn’t love at all; in fact, it’s very opposite…” Lambrini Girls have shared the next single from their debut album Who Let The Dogs Out.
Lambrini Girls have unveiled a brand-new single and video, Love.
Taken from next year’s debut album Who Let The Dogs Out – which is due out on January 10 via City Slang – the song follows last month’s Big Dick Energy and September’s Company Culture, all of which give us a nice picture of what we can expect from the full record.
Speaking about this latest single, Phoebe Lunny and Lilly Macieira say: “Love isn’t a critique on real affection – it’s about mistaking toxicity for love. Like a moth drawn to a flame, unable to discern between warmth that soothes and a fire that burns you, and getting pissed off about it.
“It’s an embrace full of sharp edges, a kiss that stings. Poison pretending to be sweet, venom dressed up as nectar. When love is learned through chaos, pain feels like connection. It’s the cycle of chasing affection through suffering and holding on because you’ve never known anything else.
“It’s about the bitterness and resentment from trying to find something, only to realise it remains elusive. What this song conveys isn’t love at all; in fact, it’s very opposite.”
