LAVA LA RUE DON'T COME BACK

Delving into a darker space, Lava La Rue reveals 'Don't Come Back' - a sultry duet with fellow NiNE8 collective member Biig Piig. A smooth bass groove sets the mood, sliding effortlessly up, down and across the frets, as sparse, reverb-kissed guitar parts glimmer in the distance and both Lava and Biig Piig's hazy vocals take turns. Lyrically examining the strange sort of morbid addiction of being in a toxic relationship Lava explains: “('Don't Come Back is about') being in a relationship where you know that person isn’t good for you. But you can’t help but go back and forth with them. Instead of ripping off the band aid, it’s tearing it off slowly, and scratching at the scabs.” Listen here as we await Lava La Rue's incoming Hi-Fidelity EP, arriving in just a matter of weeks. -Holly Mullineaux
