Eli Moore and Ashley Eriksson‘s radiant songwriting chemistry is on display on both sides of the 20067-inch single by LAKE.
Recorded by Tucker Martine beforeOh, The Places We’ll Go[KLP196] andLet’s Build a Roof[KLP213], this single represents the fluidity of sounds that LAKE operates with: both songs are hopeful in different ways“You Are Alone” (featuring Moore’s sympathetic voice and calm keys) is a hand on your shoulder, and “Higher Than Merry” (featuring Eriksson’s contagious glee and a kaleidoscope of percussions, horns, and animal sounds) is a hand that pulls you into a Technicolor dream.
Known to change tempos and styles on an album, LAKE throws a sharp curveball for this edition of ‘s International Pop Underground series of 7-inch singles. Your hand makes the transition; flipping Side A to Side B is like opening a letter from a familiar friend: insightful and cheerful.
This is Vol. CXXVIIin ‘sInternational Pop Underground Series.
The digital version of this 7-inch is available from Bandcamp
- You Are Alone
- Higher Than Merry
