New track ‘Attachment Theory’ follows recent singles ‘Know How It Hurts’, ‘Unlearn’, ‘Girl’, and ‘You Don’t Know How To Drive’, and is a soaring and reflective synth-pop anthem that is lyrically confessional, discussing the themes of love language and attachment styles. Alongside the track, the band have shared an understated, yet relatable video filmed in London on 16mm film by Basha De Bruijn.

Speaking about the track, they say, “we wrote ‘Attachment Theory’ after a friend asked us to write a song about attachment styles. It seems as though everyone is obsessed with the idea and with self-diagnosing, so we decided to write a confessional song about ours. On a deeper and more emotional level it’s about the fear of being defined by the way you love and desperately wanting to change it.”

Discussing the video, they say, “we made the video for ‘Attachment Theory’ with director and friend Basha De Bruijn. The concept was simple – us crying and “getting through life” in everyday situations filmed around London and at Meg’s flat, to capture the raw and real message of the song. The video was shot on 16mm film which made the final visual and the filming experience as true to life as possible.”

New track ‘Know How It Hurts’ follows recent singles ‘Unlearn’, ‘Girl’, and ‘You Don’t Know How To Drive’, and is a confident song that balances a euphoric and uplifting melody with profound lyrical meaning. Written as a reaction to the Roe v. Wade abortion bans in the USA, it addresses the expectation and ideologies put on women and channels the pain and anger around this to create a positive anthem about personal choice.

Speaking about the track, they say, “we started writing this song a couple of years ago in reaction to the abortion bans in the USA. It’s about the collective feeling of hurt and disempowerment that was felt during this time and continues to be felt. More personally, it’s about looking back at being a young girl and not knowing how to fit in. It’s an anthem for anyone who feels affected by patriarchal ideologies.”

Discussing the video, they say, “the video for ‘Know How It Hurts’ is loosely inspired by the 90s classic and our favourite film, Thelma & Louise. However, instead of driving off the edge of the Grand Canyon (which was slightly out of our budget), we decided to poetically rewrite the ending in which we “burn the patriarchy” and drive off into the night.”
