Speaking of the track, vocalist Lynsey Ward shares, “I came across the book ‘A Spy in the House of Love’ by accident one day, and immediately felt compelled by how the phrase had organised a lot of messy feelings while being in the throes of a heavy break-up. There is actually very little that the book and our song have in common, but discovering it did catalyse a great deal of focus creatively and personally. Everyone at some stage has felt confused or betrayed in heartbreak, and we are far from the first to write a song about it. It is quite new territory for us, though!”

Centred on Lynsey Ward’s arresting vocals, the band unveil a richer, more expansive sound that marks a clear evolution from the organic rawness of their piano-led beginnings. ‘42’ balances emotional depth with cinematic ambition, showcasing a maturity and sonic confidence that signals a bold new chapter for the group.

Speaking of the track, vocalist Lynsey Ward shares, “’42’ is a song about paranoia, conspiracy theories and confirmation bias – it is written from the perspective of someone who has lost touch with reality, seeing patterns in their day to day life that are leading them to some answer, or a warning – but never quite getting the full picture of what it could all mean. Thematically, the song was drawn from personal experience in childhood, where a few coincidences with numbers could spiral into a feeling of being ‘followed’ by a number or symbol, and like the storyline of the rest of your life was being written with this at the centre, or as a clue.”

Lynsey expands, “Conspiracy theories are more rife than ever, especially after spreading like wildfire during the pandemic. We wanted to present this as a sympathetic look at how something so simple can go so wrong, and where that desperation can lead; a state of anxiety, isolation, and losing touch with the world around you. The great irony is that, to some degree, we have now become the people in the story. We each notice the number 42 so regularly now that we update one another every time it pops up somewhere unexpected.”
