Words: Ellie Ward
After their solid live set last week supporting The Snuts on the latter's Brighton leg of their tour, Lacuna Blooms double up with the release of a new single - their first in almost a year.
The anthemic styled track - the first cut from a forthcoming debut EP - rises from a bold drum opening to sweep through layers of guitars across five minutes, incorporating an intervening trippy house-inspired section, and a gradual build of sound that signals the band's lay-off has proved ultimately productive.
“'Plastic' is how the world is changing around us, and how we all need to adapt our lifestyles to match," say the
quartet. "It questions whether people will ever make a change to the way they live, and if it will even make a difference.
“It’s the longest song we’ve ever written, and at times it seems to head into some sort of indie-prog arrangement. We’ve been handling this song for a long time and we really love its final form, length and all. In a way, we’re making up for lost time.”
