The second single from Langkamer's upcoming sophomore album 'The Noon and Midnight Manual', out 18th May via Breakfast Records.

Hatchet

23 is the first single of the new Lucky Iris era. The track is about the stress of getting older but somehow feeling younger than ever. A feeling which at times seems silly and all-consuming but it’s there all the same... Written and produced by the pair, mixed by Richard Wilkinson (Adele, Kaiser Chiefs) and mastered by Antony Ryan (Oh Wonder); ‘23’ is the mesh of the duo’s love for hyper-pop hooks and the quintessential age of British indie music. Supported by Help Musicians and released through Launchpad+.

Sometimes it all gets too much
And you lose your head 'cause you're losing touch
And you go to the moon and you dance with the stars
'Cause there's pain that remains in the scars

On Mute

Glue is a lively and energetic song that's sure to get your toes tapping, but beyond the catchy beat and upbeat tempo lies a deep exploration of vulnerability, connection, and the power of interpretation.

Overall, the lyrics of Glue are poignant and evocative, capturing the feeling of finding safety and comfort in someone else's care.

Penfriend is the solo project of Bristol artist Laura Kidd. Arriving with arms outstretched in the midst of a crisis, Penfriend offers a moment of meaningful connection in a time when the rug has been pulled out from under our feet.

Debut single “Everything Looks Normal In The Sunshine” was born as the horror of the Coronavirus overtook the news. Shocked by the way life in her local neighbourhood seemed to carry on regardless - lawns were mowed, sparrows chirped and Laura’s dogs always need their walks - her heartfelt response was, naturally, a song.

Written in a morning coffee break while her husband took a Skype work meeting in the next room, the song was recorded entirely in her home attic studio The Launch Pad, except for live drums which were beamed in remotely by Max Saidi.

 “Everything Looks Normal In The Sunshine” is a technicolour reflection of these unprecedented times, offering hope and solidarity amidst the fear, an explosive sugarbuzz pop banger that at once recalls the heady strut of Dream Wife and Dinosaur Pile Up whilst nodding quietly to Blue Album-era Weezer and Nirvana circa Nevermind.

“Take heart there’ll be time to celebrate” Laura urges as her widescreen, powerhouse guitars enter the fray. Right now, hope is what we all really need.
