Boise’s post-riot grrrl trio Blood Lemon have shared their new single and video, ‘High Tide,’ from their upcoming EP Petite Deaths, out digitally January 17, and on vinyl via hometown label Moon Ruins. First premiered by FLOOD Magazine, ‘High Tide’ is a vividly sensual track packing plenty of overdrive alongside guitarist Lisa Simpson’s lyrics that speak to our animalistic tendency to seduce and be seduced.
Drawing inspiration from a spectrum of contemporary romance authors after diving feet first into fan fiction for the series Outlander, Simpson says, “I took the sensual for inspiration, and the beginning of ‘High Tide’ was a research query of what idioms or phrases other cultures use for orgasm.” The accompanying video, created with a DIY ethos, utilizes found footage to provide an evocative filmic companion to the metaphorical images of sensuality within Simpson’s lyrics.
