Taken from the forthcoming debut album, Open the Door, due out November 8th through Brace Yourself Records (Panic Shack, JOHN, Nuha Ruby Ra), Lazy Day unveil their kaleidoscopic new single Concrete. Making up their 4th single that's been lifted from the record, we get a further insight in to the dynamic sound that's been teased thus far. “Concrete was a helpful metaphor,” explains Scantlebury. “It’s strong and sturdy, as well as being extremely heavy. It was a useful framework for thinking about relationships which felt stable, but at the same time weighed me down. Writing the lyrics like vignettes of memories helped me gain a sense of perspective, as I tried not to carry the full load of responsibility. This song is a big shift from what I’d made before. Written later in the album making process, I was gaining new confidence, realising that the record could be whatever I wanted it to be. At the same time, expectations I had held of myself for so long were starting to fall away. It was an amazing feeling, especially when the content of the song is about the breakdown of trust, my fears about someone coming true, and facing the collapse of it all head on. Writing Concrete felt like making a massive mess before doing the most concise tidy up ever. A bit of destruction in the interest of creation.” Take a listen for yourselves below.
