Desire – Escape

Rough Trade Exclusive on Lavender vinyl, limited to 500 copies

 

Desire shares Escape, their new album written and recorded in Los Angeles & Palm Springs, California. Inspired by the ultra-vivid world of 1970’s giallo films, they wrote the soundtrack of their dreams using their favourite musical instruments: Minikorg, Jupiter 8, 909, Mellotron, Simmons Rhythm Modules, String Machine, a D-50 & Fender Rhodes. House music rhythms provide the canvas for girl group narratives and a children’s choir to paint the picture. Throbbing synthwave and daytime drama soap operas all play into the colour pallet of the album.

 

The lyrics are sung in English, French, & Korean, adding even more drama to the mix. Through it all, there is the optimism of true love’s compass navigating us through all the chaos life has to offer.
