Memphis-based rising indie pop duo Isabella&Sebastian return with an electric new single and video, ‘Lavender.’ The moody and tender track simmers in an echoing, effervescent glow before its whimsical chorus is broken up by experimental drum lines and a guiding guitar. The song is bursting with yearning and nostalgia as the charm of young heartbreak is revitalized through the song’s ability to challenge itself.
“‘Lavender’ is a complex song that describes an enthralling young woman who uses her femininity to get what she wants. Many have tried to break down her walls, and all have failed and been left brokenhearted,” the duo explains. “As dreamy as she seems, upon closer inspection of the lyrics, one may notice she is subtly falling apart, her flakey and unstable lifestyle being a defense mechanism to protect herself from whatever she may be hiding from. But one can’t help but fall in love with her, including the narrator of the story.”
