Scottish duo LOVE SICK will suss you out on new track "Predictable"

"Predictable" opens with a Tirzah-esque airy keys melody that is hauntingly endearing. The intricate beat bounces energetically against the slower melody, allowing vocalist Julie to find a balance of desirous pop tones and a bellowing, club-worthy chorus.

The track plays with the idea of doubt, connecting the distant key melody to the downfall of Julie's lyrics that reveal her dissatisfaction with being stuck in a routine.

Expanding on the story behind the track, the duo explain, ""Predictable" is about how monotonous life can be and wanting to escape that and do something different. Music has always been our escape and this song deals with our relationship with music; the ups and downs and our love/hate relationship with it. The song came about after we’d both got back from work and managed to channel this frustration into making music - we actually ended up working all night finishing it off, hence one of the reasons we called the EP No Sleep."

"Predictable" is revealed today alongside LOVE SICK's debut four-track EP No Sleep.

On their EP, the duo says, "“The No Sleep EP is a snapshot of where we’re at today. It feels like we are laying the foundations of what’s to come and was difficult to pick just 4 tracks from those recent sessions. We named the EP after the weeks of near-sleep deprivation we went through recording and writing, trying to juggle part time jobs with making music, which usually meant having to start sessions after 9pm and then working until 5am, sometimes later and then just feeling exhausted throughout the day. For us it’s when our best work comes out - it’s like your mind quietens down at night and you can really let the creativity flow.”
