“Infatuation”
Infatuation (out now on Paradyse)
The rising London trio’s gorgeous, widescreen power ballad gets fitting visuals. The track sees vocalist Richard Walters’ beautifully chronicling the painful process of cleansing your life of a lost lover who, over time, has permeated every aspect of your life. Anyone who has gone through this type of break-up knows that it isn’t simply about finding someone new to fuck, watch Netflix with, or call before you go to bed (sorry, Ben). It’s about remembering how to live without that person, how to stand on your own two feet. It’s fucking hard, but it’s also fucking freeing, exciting, and empowering. “Infatuation” nails that dichotomy in a way that few records can.
