Lala Lala Turns the Journey Out of Hell Into a Romantic Endeavor on “DIVER”
On “DIVER,” Lillie West’s most recent track as Lala Lala, she makes fighting towards hell a romantic fight. “All my time I have is diamonds,” she sings. She flips the tragedy of Sisyphus into a preferred quest to prevail over her demons. She imagines that probably she can be a diver, in reference to the character Anna Kerrigan from Jennifer Egan’s Manhattan Beach, in which Kerrigan operates in a Brooklyn Navy Garden and becomes the very first female diver sent down to repair ships. “Swimming out to my new daily life / Dragged in by the undertow,” West sings as her voice presents out with the waves coming in.
“DIVER” is the initial glance we get at the forthcoming album from the Chicago-primarily based artist, the comply with-up to 2018’s The Lamb, titled I Want the Door to Open. In a estimate about the keep track of, West disclosed, “I think it’s quick to come to feel like we continue to keep earning the similar problems around and more than yet again, that we’re Sisyphus. The important is falling in love with the labor of going for walks up the mountain. I want complete liberty, overall likelihood, overall acceptance. I want to tumble in like with the rock.”
The monitor comes with aid from fellow musicians NNAMDÏ, Christian Lee Hutson, and Macie Stewart of OHMME (who also introduced her initial solo album, Mouth Total of Glass, yesterday). It also will come with a suspenseful, stunningly lit online video, where by West smashes through ice to get to a pair of keys. Is it to open the door? I fucking hope so!
