Synth-pop duo hailing from Berkeley vverevvolf just dropped their new single Lemonade accompanied by a music video directed and edited by Jared Swanson. The pair first linked up in 2013 when Dylan Gallagher accidentally walked into a community college music class and heard Kelsey LaRae singing. Since then they’ve been writing and recording original material together, taking influence from their 80s electro pop heroes.
Lemonade is the first single from their forthcoming EP Electric Blue and follows the release of their debut single Cruel Games, building on their upbeat and rhythm oriented sound. It’s a fiercely catchy effort, driven by perfectly matched dual vocals, pulsating synths and punching drum machine beats.
Commenting on the track, Dylan Gallagher has said, “In the broader sense, Lemonade is about anger and the validity of that feeling. Writing the song, I was specifically inspired by the special type of anger that I always come back to as a queer person. I’ve found that a lot of people who have no insight into your lived experiences will often be the most vocal ones telling you how to act in response to injustices, so this is basically a response to them.”
