LASHES and Lakelend Team Up For “I Can See The End”

If you’ve ever found it difficult to drown out the self-sabotaging voices in your head and just enjoy a new relationship, you’re going to connect with LASHES’ new single “I Can See the End.” Featuring Lakelend, it’s a fantastic new pop song with a great groove that counterbalances its unsettling lyrics.

“‘I Can See The End’ is about the early stages of liking someone and how unsettling it can feel,” LASHES explained. “I find it really hard to enjoy the ‘crushy’ phase. I’m filled with frantic energy and act like a weird version of myself. I’m hyper-aware of their presence and read into our interactions (to later decipher with my friends instead of just asking).”

Lakelend’s contribution really takes this already great song to the next level. Like so many of the best things, LASHES said working with him came about naturally.

“The feature happened organically, I was part of Lakelend’s debut show and since then we became good friends, we bonded over our love of Chase Atlantic, and our similar relationship experiences,” she added. “We had so much fun in the studio recording Lakelend’s verse and his buttery-bravado fit perfectly with the vibe of the song.”

LASHES will play a couple of shows in her home state this month. Catch her in the capital or her hometown of Ballarat in the coming weeks.

Lakelend Impresses With “Anybody Else But You”

Melbourne pop act Lakelend is back with what might be his strongest release yet. “Anybody Else But You” is a shimmery pop track with a soft, sensitive centre. Make sure you pay attention to the moving lyrics which give voice to the pain so many of us feel after a bad breakup.

“‘Anybody Else But You’ is about being fresh out of a relationship in the most destructive and dangerous headspace you’ve ever experienced,” Lakelend explained.

Lakelend balances the drama with a fun music video inspired by Grand Theft Auto. In it we see Lakelend navigating his way through the video game world, hoping to come out the other side, just as we do when we’re picking up the pieces of a broken heart.

Live music might seem a long way off for Melbourne, but Lakelend is giving the city something to look forward to on that front. Catch him and fellow Melbourne muso Kuren at Stay Gold in Brunswick on December 17.

Lakelend Shines Bright With “Supernova”

Melbourne pop act Lakelend has got me grooving with his latest single “Supernova.” This is an irresistible synthy pop track that takes its cues from acts like Lauv, LANY, and The Chainsmokers. It’ll definitely get you dancing, but its romantic lyrics might tug at your heartstrings too!

“Sometimes that new person falls into your lap when you least expect it. A breath of fresh air. Something that you haven’t experienced before,” Lakelend explains of the song’s inspiration. “I was all in. Never in my life had I experienced a love for someone that built up so incredibly quickly. I think it’s only human to return love and affection if it’s received well and is something you’re capable of giving back. In hindsight, there were certain moments that I was blind to everything happening around me. My close friends, my family and even my own goals and ambitions. I don’t regret it, but I’m just being honest.”

“Supernova” is only Lakelend’s second single, but he’s already showing big promise.
