Having already impressed so many with her wonderfully warm offering ‘Evening Train’ earlier this year, Berlin-based South African Lucy Kruger now returns alongside The Lost Boys to release her new studio album ‘Transit Tapes (for women who move furniture around)’.
Working with drummer Martin Perret, guitarist Liú Mottes, and bassist Andreas Miranda for the first time, who form The Lost Boys, Kruger’s latest collection aims to be a more textured and adventurous affair, while still maintaining the intimate and tender direction she has always shown.
Talking about the record, she said, “the songs begin in the bedroom, as with Sleeping Tapes, but with an eye on the window and a hand on the door. There is a restlessness. A kind of building up of courage and the acknowledgement of a fear I had developed around making too much noise or causing too much of a scene. How are we supposed to discover who we are if we are not allowed to make a mess? To leak, spill, sweat, spit, shriek. Sometimes playing involves getting scratched or wounded. Laughing. Weeping… Transit Tapes is a gentle and sometimes not so gentle reminder to take off my winter coat and run naked like a wild thing towards the water.”
Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys’ new album ‘Transit Tapes (for women who move furniture around)’ is available to stream everywhere now. Check it out below.
