lavender have shared the brand new single, "missing you", which is taken from their forthcoming debut album, we're having a barn dance.

"The track is built around a sample from The Independents ‘Baby, I’ve Been Missing You’, which Oskar came across while stuck in London traffic listening to (our favourite radio station) Supreme FM (number 1 in North London!!). It’s probably the most direct sample on the album and repurposes the refrain from the original to express something we were both drawn to at the time for different reasons".

we're having a barn dance is the story of one tumultuous year of living, loving (and the falling out thereof). The songwriting is a diary of an eventful 12 months. “We had a big chat about what this all means to us,” explains Oskar, “And we boiled it down to this: it’s about love, but not necessarily romantic love. It’s about all of those competing emotions and how, if you love one thing, it might detract from loving something else.”

we're having a barn dance, is set for release on 23 May via Night Time Stories.
