Berlin band Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys unveils soaring single “Woolf,” offering a third peek into upcoming studio album Pale Bloom. Led by lush vocals that build from hesitance into rich layers underscored by driving guitars and refrain-laden viola, the track comes to life with an urgent, searching vibe.
Drawing inspiration from Virginia Woolf, the track reflects on questions about freedom and identity, offering solidarity to a voice from the past. Speaking of the track, Kruger says, “‘Woolf’ is a twisted sort of love letter — or a summoning. Or a sentencing. To a godless void, to Virginia, to the patriarchy, to my past self. As the four distinct chapters of this not-very-long song suggest, I’m not quite sure how to thread all these selves together into a cohesive timeline or tempo. Luckily, music makes space for such a problem.”
With unpredictable sonic signatures and deeply poetic lyricism, the track unfurls the complexity nestled in the album, a nostalgic collection that pulls from the rhythms and narrative styles rooted in the strictures of a religious upbringing.
Laden with longing, mourning and desire, all layered upon lush soundscapes, the track sets up the captivating and immersive world that awaits us on Pale Bloom as the band shapes an artistry that transforms inherited sounds into personal truths.
