‘But Now We’re Not In The Dark’
A new collaboration with the brilliant Russian Linesman. It is always a pleasure to work together, and I am so happy with this song. Hope you enjoy it!
Russian Linesman sent me his original track, which I worked on and also added the vocals, using the Linesman’s lyrics. We really enjoyed creating this.
Taken from his new album ‘If Miniature World Is Our Safe Space, Then Pass Me The Shrink Ray’.
More from Russian Linesman about his upcoming album here:
‘But Now We’re Not In The Dark (featuring Maps)’ is the first single from my forthcoming album ‘If Miniature World Is Our Safe Space, Then Pass Me The Shrink Ray’.
The project features a number of collaborators: Mercury Prize nominated Maps (Mute Records), one of Lil Peep’s producers Lederrick, Valeska Rautenberg Music, Marta Hagen, Lív Næs, Scarlet Season and Cesca.
“The album was inspired by a rummage through old boxes of lyrics and diaries during lockdown, this musical journey explores the emotional complexities of navigating modern life while yearning for the simplicity of the past.”
