10 February 2020, 14:42 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Alex Lahey has followed up her 2019 album with an electrifying new single, "Sucker For Punishment".

"Sucker For Punishment" is the first single from the Melbourne singer/songwriter since her The Best Of Luck Club landed in May 2019.

"We're living in an era we're the micro has become the macro," says Lahey. "I don't think there has ever been a time where our actions and attitudes as individuals have had such an impact on broader humanity and the planet. Whether it's a ‘think about it later’ attitude towards climate change, the undemocratic consequences of sharing personal data to big business online, a lethargicness in the face of political engagement or the need to be validated as a worthwhile individual through obtaining arbitrary units of engagement on social media - we need to catch ourselves out before we suffer greater consequences."

Alex Lahey's "Sucker For Punishment" single is out now. She plays London's Electric Ballroom on 19 March with The Regrettes. Find out more.
