LET'S EAT GRANDMA FALLING INTO ME

Here at The Most Radicalist, we’re kind of in love with the London alt-pop pair Let’s Eat Grandma and so today’s album announcement is like music to our ears! Putting similes aside, we do actually have new music for your ears from LEG in the form on ‘Falling Into Me’. Massive, layered synthesizer keys and live drums build up the heady anticipation in the song’s introduction, while those trademark sing-speak saccharine vocals deliver sturdy lyrics. As we hit that first minute mark, an vibrant array of electronics join in the noise - rumbling, fuzzy bass, ‘80s drum beats, robotic samples - like interference between radio waves. As the duo explain, ‘Falling Into Me’ is “about communication. Some of the lyrics reference being in control as a woman in a romantic relationship, and being the one to initiate.” There are too those moments of trickling guitars and delicate piano, where the voice can be heard with rare clarity, however it doesn’t last; “I bite my hair as I try to justify.” After this point, the pulsating rhythms are unrelenting; a murky dance beat as we head into the twilight of a relationship. The final lyric we hear, “we’re so illuminated in the night,” suggesting that the shelter of the dark, away from prying eyes in stark daylight could be when communication flows once again. However, Let’s Eat Grandma never provide the answer as a whole, there’s always an air of mystery. - HT
