Lambrini Girls share the tumultuous new single Love, from their forthcoming debut album, Who Let The Dogs Out
The track is lifted from their forthcoming debut album, Who Let The Dogs Out, which is scheduled to arrive on January 10 via City Slang.
Love follows on from the previously-released tracks, Company Culture and Big Dick Energy, and explores the nature of misleading romantic relationships and unhealthy bonds through hard-hitting lyrics such as: 'True love is nothing more / Than the wrong hill to die on / Psychoanalyse my attachment styles / And cross every boundary at once'.
Speaking of the release, the band explain: "Love isn't a critique on real affection -- it's about mistaking toxicity for love. Like a moth drawn to a flame, unable to discern between warmth that soothes and a fire that burns you, and getting pissed off about it.
"It's an embrace full of sharp edges, a kiss that stings. Poison pretending to be sweet, venom dressed up as nectar. When love is learned through chaos, pain feels like connection. It's the cycle of chasing affection through suffering and holding on because you've never known anything else."
They continue, "It's about the bitterness and resentment from trying to find something, only to realise it remains elusive. What this song conveys isn't love at all; in fact, it's very opposite."
Describing their upcoming debut, they note: "You know how Fleetwood Mac almost dedicated Rumours to their cocaine dealer? I think we should dedicate this album to all the booze we bought at Tesco."
Later this month, the Brighton punks will perform a handful of UK shows in support of Idles, before heading to the US in December. In 2025, they'll hit the road for dates across the EU and UK, before finally signing off with a performance in London's Electric Brixton on April 17. In August, they'll support The Libertines at Gunnersbury Park.
