The pop duo of Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth—a.k.a. Lets Eat Grandma—are readying for the release of their new album Two Ribbons on April 29. The latest look at the project dropped today with the single "Levitation" and a Noel Paul–directed video.
The new track is a chain of synth bursts and rubberband-like percussion. The lyrics are a bit surreal, documenting dissociation in a bathroom stall and losing track of one's reflection. "I’m good at picking up the pieces from the bathroom floor," goes the first verse, "And though the tap is broken and I’m miles away / I see a piece of something glittering inside the drain." Let's Eat Grandma continue to balance life's difficulties and pleasures with pop brilliance.
“It’s about feeling all over the place, escaping to your imagination and being in a disorientating and surreal mental state, which can be both scary and elevating somehow—everything feels more creative and things look brighter," Walton explained. "You’re with someone you’re close to, trying to reach out and connect to them, and even though you’re both struggling, you’re able to find comfort in one another, and have an absurdly funny yet meaningful time together. You begin to see some hope in your future again after a time when you’d started to lose sight of that.”
The video for "Levitation"—wherein a reflection in a train window turns trippy and surreal—is as vibrant and exciting as the single. Watch it below.
