Asha Lorenz: Last News

Sorry have shared an eerie new single ‘Waxwing’, check it out below.‘Waxwing’ is built around an interpolation from Toni Basil’s 1981 hit ‘Hey Mickey’, reverting the original bubblegum hook: “Hey Mickey/You’re so fine/You’re so fine you blow my mind“, to “Oh Mickey/You’re so fine/Wanna take you back to mine/Oh Mickey/You’re so fine/I’ll stay up late to make you mine.”A slightly heavier departure from their 2022 album ‘Anywhere But Here‘, the track explores themes of desire over an eerie, sci-fi-esque collection of sounds, as vocalist Asha Lorenz sings in a hushed tone: “Mickey is desire? Mickey is the bomb? Mickey makes me money? Mickey makes my songs? Mickey makes a poem? Mickey in the drugs? Mickey is liar? Mickey making love? Mickey is desire?”Alongside the track, the band have shared a lo-fi DIY music video directed and produced by FLASHA. Check it out below.The London indie-rock band are set to join Fontaines D.C.

In a four-star review, NME‘s Will Richards wrote: “They’ll get as much hate as they will adoration: you’re either with them or you’re not.“Whichever side you come down on, having the singer of an indie band in 2020 sincerely saying he wants to play Knebworth feels like a refreshing shot in the arm for a genre whose mission statement has been ‘we make music for ourselves – if anyone else likes it, that’s a bonus’ for over a decade.
