As the release of their forthcoming debut album approaches, due out November 8th through Brace Yourself Records (Panic Shack, JOHN, Nuha Ruby Ra), Lazy Day returns with the final teaser of what's to come unveiling the glorious Getting Good. Packed in to its 2 minute 37 second duration is a whole lot of excitable energy as waves of guitar layers crash over its soft percussion and simmering crescendo. "The song is about my menial but recurring feelings of failure," explains Scantlebury. "And how I can become really good at behaviours that aren’t helpful, habits that stop me from doing what I need to do. I’m not sure that many people would recognise this kind of avoidance in me, but I wanted to stare at that secret tendency of mine head on."

"Open the Door is about possibility and capacity," they continue, "but 'Getting Good' is about those times when I've been too worried to push the door open myself, and it's been easier to keep it closed”: 'I know I could be good if I just left the house now / And stepped into the world, it’s not that I don’t know how.' Writing the song helped me refocus on the things I really truly want to be good at. Getting good as a continual process, but one that requires you to move on." Take a listen for yourselves below.
