Lunavela presents: Take me home in your ambulance 🚑

Great guitar vibes here

Lunavela - aka New Zealand singer, songwriter and former Collapsing Cities frontman Steve Mathieson - shares new single ‘Six-Out-Of-Ten-Friend', a 90s influenced indie dream with deadpan, observational lyrics, celebrating weirdly uncomfortable social encounters. 

Speaking of the track, Steve says: "Six-Out-Of-Ten Friend is not a misanthropic song, it's more a celebration of setting better boundaries with people who don't get you and laughing about social awkwardness. Y'know celebrating that awkward conversation of small talk in the pet food aisle of Tesco with an ex-work colleague, music punisher or an ex-girlfriend's husband. This is my idea of a pop song".

Featuring drummer Alistair Deverick (Boycrush) and bassist Hannan Carter (Steriogram, NO), the new single comes ahead of a full album release, ‘Imposter Syndrome’, later this year. The upcoming album is a mixture of bruised pop songs celebrating universal themes; sexuality, sobriety and sad tearjerkers. Steve credits getting sober as the driving force for writing songs again, admitting that making the second Collapsing Cities album proved challenging, he is happy to be in love with the process of making music again and is enjoying the creative freedom of working on his own.

"My M.O with songwriting on this project is to make you feel something in some form whether that's make you smile, laugh, cry, sing along, resent me, whatever. It's taken me so long to do this album as it's all self-funded, I'm so proud of it, grateful for the people who helped and it's the best thing I've ever done,” enthuses Steve.

Burn For You by Lunavela

Lunavela - British Amelia

[abductionradiation]

New Zealand-based project Lunavela recently released a new dream pop single “Burn For You”. This dream pop song sounds like New Order’s new wave meets the synthpop of A Flock of Seagulls. It’s lathered in some gorgeous synths that gives the track a lovely flow. The vocals practically melt into the synths, which really echoes the 80s synthpop style.

Our Find of the Week is Steve Mathieson formerly of Collapsing Cities who under the moniker of Lunavela is putting out music.  His debut track Burn For You is a slice of dreamy pop with stunning melodies. Check it out above!
