With their eagerly-awaited debut album set to land later this year, Bleach Lab have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.
The new single 'Smile For Me' follows on from the previously shared tracks ‘All Night’, ‘Counting Empties’ and ‘Indigo' in previewing their new LP 'Lost In A Rush Of Emptiness', which is out on the 22nd September via Nettwerk.
Speaking about the new offering, the band's Jenna Kyle said, "Lyrically, This was one of the most empowering but challenging songs to write on the album. The theme for ‘Smile For Me’ is of my own experience of sexual harassment, as well as experiences I know far too many women suffer themselves. Something I hear so often as a woman in public is being told to ‘cheer up, love’, if I’m not immediately, positively responsive to an unknown person's advances. It’s completely deflating, infuriating and humiliating. The lyrics are intentionally directed at the culprits and offenders, words I would be too afraid to say in the moment if not for fear of the reaction."
