Lush co-founder Emma Anderson shares new single, "Clusters"
Emma Anderson – the co-founder of Lush – has released "Clusters" as the second single from her debut solo album, Pearlies.
“It was the first track I worked on with James [Chapman, aka Maps, producer of Pearlies] and it’s the one we found our feet with. I guess it’s the pop one on the album but, although it’s upbeat, I think lyrically it’s actually quite dark," Anderson explains.
“It’s about some young people at a party at the end of summer, seeing some signs on a wall,” she continues as she attempts to explain the slightly oblique lyrics that, in a very timely art-imitating-life fashion, refer to this time of year and the nights drawing in. “It probably has some connection to some events that happened a few years ago. Discovering a kind of underlying threat during something that should have been quite fun.”
"Clusters" is out now. Emma Anderson's debut solo album, Pearlies, arrives on 20 October via Sonic Cathedral.
