Lemondaze announce new EP, subtext alongside UK headline tour dates
Cambridge-based four-piece Lemondaze have announced their forthcoming new EP, subtext, alongside the release of its lead single, "polari".
Speaking on the song's creation, lyricist and vocalist Isis de Chastelain said: "I wrote the lyrics after we played Green Man Festival in 2022; it was the most magical time in the most beautiful place with my best friends. The track itself has this nostalgic feeling to me, summer, getting drunk with your best friends, being young. That’s what the lyrics are for me, going ride or die on the craziest adventure with the people that mean the most to you. The song itself came together during a Covid-fuelled fever dream when Finn and I were quarantining together. It was 4 days of playing Lego Batman and Halo 3, making Swedish meatballs and writing 'polari' (it was originally called 'eggs box 420' - lol)."
Produced and mixed by Matt Glasbey (Sorry, Alt-J), new EP, subtext, was recorded between sessions in London and Brighton in 2024 and marks their first body of work since their 2021 debut EP, Celestial Bodies.
The band have also announced a UK headline tour for December, with stops in Brighton, Manchester, Bristol, Norwich, Cambridge, and London.
subtext will be released on 5 December via Venn Records.
