Following the excellent ‘Real Feel’, London band Lazy Day has released another slanting indie-rock number ‘All The Time’. With a ‘90s rock aesthetic fleshed out with shoegaze guitars, the band purges uncertainty and frustration into shout-worthy moments. While similar songs could fall into predictable wall-to-wall noise, Lazy Day add dreamy brevity to their track through jangly keys and serenely astronomical synths, yet we always return to that fire-up cool that this quartet has become known for. As songwriter and singer Tilly Scantlebury shares, "I wrote 'All the Time' a few years ago, when I was feeling really frustrated at how difficult I was finding it to shake off all the things that were getting me down. The lyrics flit between these feelings of resentment and defeat, but I wanted the song as a whole to sound really defiant. Writing and performing 'All the Time' allowed me to regain some sort of control over what was happening in my life, instead of freaking out about all the things I felt like I was losing.” We recommend turning this track up loud for a one-person dance party to remind yourself that you do have some control over your small portion of the world. - Hannah Thacker   [Photo credit: Nat Weisberg]
