about

‘Lachrymose’, was recorded in London, Margate and Paris (where the cigarette-stained keys of Serge Gainsbourg’s Steinway graced the tape) and, as with all of ‘Tongue & Groove’, produced by James Greenwood (Daniel Avery/Kelly Lee Owens/Foxes). Lyrically, it’s about freely expressing emotions. Gabriel explains:

“Lachrymose is about crying, about letting it all go, for whatever reason. Anger, frustration, happiness, late-night experimentation, who knows. It’s the first tune from the album sessions at Studios Ferber in Paris, where you can almost feel the ghost of Gainsbourg hanging heavy in the air. I think there’s a bit of him in the verse vocals. The acoustic guitar I’m using was leant by Nicolas Godin from Air, so there’s that mood too”.

lyrics

So, Lachrymose
Don’t set me off
A single tear
I saw it there

Does the way we are now dictate the way it’s gonna be forever?

Cos the line upon your cheek speaks a million words to me

When we cry
It purifies
Intensifies highs

We ululate
Gesticulate
Amongst debris
We gnash our teeth

Does our predicament dictate the way it’s gonna be forever?

Cos the line upon your cheek speaks a million words to me

When we cry
It purifies
Intensifies highs
When we cry
It clarifies
Intensifies highs
