LAVA LA RUE VEST & BOXERS
Multi-talented TMR favourite Lava La Rue, is back with their deeply nostalgic new single 'Vest & Boxers'. Using the vehicle of a dangerously catchy pop tune, La Rue fondly recounts teenage memories, explaining: “I wrote Vest & Boxers to be deeply relatable of what dating was like for myself and my teen lesbian / nblw friends growing up...I reference all the little moments we joke about - not knowing if you’re on a date or just meeting up as friends, walking into their bedroom for the first time and thinking how good it smells, not coming home for 2 days after the first night together and deciding to just move in. We were all guilty of it! Vest & Boxers is what we would refer to as our ‘dyke uniform’ - we’d wear it under our baggy denim/oversized suits with the waist band showing as a little signal to all the other gays in the room.” Arriving alongside a vibrant video directed by bedroom, Lava La Rue continues to move from strength to strength and we are well and truly here for it. -Holly Mullineaux
