Liz Lawrence announces third album with opening track "Down For Fun"
Liz Lawrence is back with news of her third album The Avalanche, and has unveiled the opening track "Down For Fun" to accompany the announcement.
"Down For Fun" is the opening song from The Avalanche, which will also feature last month's "Where The Bodies Are Buried" single.
Lawrence says of the new track, "Moving back brought up a lot of complicated feelings, and "Down For Fun" is about returning to a place I was desperate to leave for so long. It's definitely the sort of music I would have listened to when I was last walking down these streets. But it isn't nostalgic. It isn't sentimental. All the subcultures and countercultures I was around were very male-dominated, and this is about feeling like there are other options. It's the words I needed to hear."
The Avalanche will follow Lawrence's 2019 second album Pity Party, and was entirely written, arranged, produced and performed by Lawrence herself.
She says of the record, "I feel like there's power and aggression in the way I perform live, and I wanted to capture that on The Avalanche. It was a complete pleasure to write. I'd had all that anxiety around releasing Pity Party after such a long period of not writing under my own name. But I was buzzing off the fact that people were receptive to it live, and it gave me so much confidence to make this."
