LASTELLE have announced a new EP!
Titled Exist – vol ii, the upcoming EP from the Oxford-based post-hardcore band is the follow-up to last year’s Exist – vol i EP, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via self-release.
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, LASTELLE have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Tired Eyes.
Speaking about the new single, guitarist Jonjo Williams says “this was the first song written for Exist. Lyrically, it’s about how love can make you choose to be blind to issues in a relationship, and the mental toll taken when trying to pull back together a relationship that’s unwillingly, although not unexpectedly, falling apart.”
The band-directed music video for Tired Eyes centres around a character they titled The Protagonist. Vocalist Adam Rigozzi says this person is “A metaphor for confronting the uncomfortable by way of a physical manifestation. We wanted to visually show each of us having to have an honest conversation with the character, and therefore with ourselves. Something that this band and making this music forces each of the five of us to do.”
Bassist, vocalist and brass player extraordinaire Freddie Whatmore adds that LASTELLE brought their expanding following on the Tired Eyes journey with them. “We wanted to explore the idea of people leaving us anonymous messages as a way of confessing totally honest feelings. Being truly honest is unbelievably tough. So by enabling our community to anonymously leave us voicemail messages, which we’ve included at the end of this music video and then will disappear forever in a few days’ time, we hope people will feel the weight of those emotions lifted off their shoulders.”
