Cambridge indie trio LAY / BYE have released their latest single "Love Songs Are Boring <3," blending satirical lyrics with infectious indie-pop melodies. The track signals a shift in the band’s sound, moving from their rock roots toward a more polished, commercial feel. Produced by Matt Turner and Grammy-nominated Robin Schmidt (known for work with The 1975 and Nothing But Thieves), the song combines shimmering synths, buoyant guitar riffs, and a driving rhythm to create an upbeat yet reflective track. The band playfully critiques modern pop love songs while delivering a catchy tune that lingers.
Speaking about the track, the band explain: “Love Songs Are Boring <3' is a departure from our usual riffs. It reflects on loving someone you shouldn’t, drawing on the clichés of love stories we see in film and literature.”
LAY / BYE are building a strong following, and their live performances, alongside artists like Alfie Templeman and Rag’n’Bone Man, have proven their potential. With new material on the horizon, the trio looks set to reach new heights.
