Watch the video for Lydia Night’s new single Gutter, taken from her forthcoming Parody Of Pleasure debut solo album.
Following April’s first single Pity Party, Lydia Night has just announced details of her debut solo album.
The former vocalist of The Regrettes will be releasing her first full-length Parody Of Pleasure on August 8 via Warner, sharing of the direction she’s taken with this new material: “As a kid I was obsessed with punk because of my dad, but when I got older my mom introduced me to the pop music that stuck with me forever and inspired a lot of this record, like Gwen Stefani and Madonna and Britney Spears.” She adds that, “Some of these songs make me want to cry, other songs make me want to dance; overall they fill whatever space I need them to.”
Lydia is teasing what’s to come with new single Gutter, which was influenced by “listening to a lot of Gorillaz” at the time of writing it with producer Alexis Kesselman.
“It was summer in New York – things were hot and sweaty, and I was obsessed with a girl,” Lydia remembers. “I had the kind of crush where I would hear her in every song, smell her on every corner. It was visceral. I wanted any piece of her I could get. Sounds creepy but in like a fun, hot, gay way, I swear. We started this song as a bit of a joke since I was so far gone over someone that I had known for a couple of weeks. It was silly so we made it silly. I love that you can still hear the playfulness in the track even though it’s sensual.”
