Stay Lunar are back with new single ‘Immediately’, their first song of the year. Like for so many artists, 2020 put a stop to their plans of you know, doing artists things. But what we’re starting to see is a lot of material related to lockdown or post-lockdown, with the Bristol act’s newest song describing the anxiety that comes with life beginning to open up again.
In spite of its familiar topic, ‘Immediately’ is a song that feels relatable without treading too much of the same steps. While the vocals detail the fear of the unknown in a way that sinks into the mind, it’s the music that keeps things light. Packed with melodies, drums that flitter with groove and synths that form the vastest of atmospheres, it sounds immense. It also highlights this euphoric sound that the band are known to produce so well too.
While there’s been a lot of uncertainty in recent times, it seems there’s the tiniest touch of optimism beginning to shine through. Stay Lunar have done a great job illustrating that here. It’s captured that feeling of unease but paired it with an instrumental that couldn’t care less. It just wants to dance, and that’s awesome. This is the first of two singles to be released via SAM Records this summer, so I cannot wait to hear what’s next.
