Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys Invoke a War Within With the New Single + Video "Half of A Woman"
We're thrilled to announce, Half of a Woma the second single from Lucy Kruger’s upcoming album Sleeping Tapes for Some Girls, a slow burning dreamscape album that is made to be a quiet companion for difficult evenings. Post-Punk.com has the premiere, check it out right here!
Lucy Kruger is a singer/songwriter from Cape Town, South Africa who now lives in Berlin. Her music focuses on the bare bones of the songs, a slow burning psychedelic folk that is both intimate and ambient.
The song is a kind of incantation, an incitement, a ceremony, a memory. Lucyspeaks about the song:
"It feels to me as though we should discover how to dance, allowing one feeling to inform the next, a sort of physical domino effect. When I was young I would dance that way. Twirl violently until I fell down. Stroke the air slowly until my breath went very quiet. Then I went to classes and learnt how to do it properly. For years I learnt how to do it properly. Now I no longer remember the steps. In the small moments that I do, they make no sense to me.
Inside of this song is a small war, a summoning, a serenade. A desperate need to remember and forget and remember."
The video is an unedited single take shot of Lucy in her basement in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a collaboration between herself, Lucy Hazard and Joff and tries to climb into the spaces between becoming and undoing.
The full album will be released through Unique Records on September the 27th. Please use the new single for airplay coverge. Thanks!
