Words: Sam Geary
Released today (November 9), the double A-side single, 'Stay Warm' / 'Tired Eyes', out via Venn Records, by Hertfordshire-based Lapyear.
The emo-tinged shoegaze release is the follow up to ‘Comfort Underwater’, the debut EP that was launched with a sold out London show.
"'Comfort Underwater' involved a lot of experimentation with sounds in the studio. With this release, we decided to take a more direct approach to stay true to our live sound and keep everything as stripped back as possible. The result has left us with what we think is our best work to date," say the four-piece.
Despite being friends within the scene for close to ten years, singer/guitarist Chris Burton, guitarist Scott Gear, bass player Gary West and drummer Mat Taylor only decided to play music together after a drunken night out following a Turnover show in late 2016. Since then they’ve been writing songs that bridge the gap between artists like The Cure, Ride, Slowdive, and modern post-hardcore bands, Title Fight, Basement, and Turnover.
Catch Lapyear live when they play a - free entry - release show at The Black Heart in Camden on November 14.
