South London outfit Bleach Lab return with new single ‘Real Thing‘. Sounding as though it could be the closing track to a 90’s TV show like My So-Called Life, perhaps unsurprising considering the track has been produced by Stephen Smith (The Smiths, The Cranberries, Blur). Thematically, the song finds the band considering the topic of personal boundaries.
According to vocalist, Jenna Kyles:
“Real thing is about wanting to find a more meaningful and lasting connection with someone. I had been processing a lot of issues over the last couple of years to do with previous relationships and personal development, and I had finally reached a place where I felt I was in the right state of mind to be open to looking for something new.
It is a lot about finding a healthy relationship that is beneficial for those involved. Knocking down the walls you built and putting trust in someone else, for the first time in a long time.”
The band are also scheduled to play a number of festivals and venues throughout the UK this year and next. See dates listed below for further details.
