ALASKALASKA release new single "TV Dinners"

Following the release of previous singles "Still Life" and "Growing Up Pains (Unni's Song)", ALASKALASKA have delivered a third cut from the record titled "TV Dinners", which arrives with a Jacek Zmarz-directed video.

Lucinda Duarte-Holman says of the song, ""TV Dinners" was the only song on the album written during lockdown (the rest were written previous to Covid). I wrote it in about 20 minutes as a stream of consciousness kind of poem. Very literal. Even though, like a lot of people, I wasn't really sure what to do with myself under the circumstances, I was still really quite happy to have some time doing nothing - noticing the way the light changed in my flat and the sound of the birds and trees outside. I felt a real sense of privilege that I was able to enjoy a space in time that for a lot of people was incredibly testing on so many levels. And with that privilege, a sense of guilt: "What once was bliss, becomes a certain kind of ignorance." We all take part in it in some way - you can change the channel if the news becomes too much, or steer away from doom-scrolling, and I think you should as a way of protecting yourself, but I also think it's important to recognise that it's a privilege to be able to do so."

Still Life will follow their 2019 debut album The Dots, and is produced by Simian Mobile Disco's Jas Shaw.

ALASKALASKA's Fraser Rieley says, "Still Life is big at times, but stays unconventional and very satisfying to me... we steered away slightly from anything too big or catchy."
