Lacer - Go It Again

Dublin-based trio, Lacer, is gearing up to release their debut album, Go It Again, on August 21st. The upcoming record offers a blend of psych pop with punk rock and indie. The lyrical themes focus on exploring love, dualities and the absurdities of life.

“Yellow Car” is the lead single, which is out July 24th, and has an upbeat tempo. The song describes wanting to ride around in a yellow car and have a good time taking a trip down to a place you once were. “Pilgrim” has some harmonica added and gives it a hint of country intertwined with their punk rock sound. “Reasoned Treason” is more tuned down with personal lyrics about feeling betrayed after hearing words of reason. The lyrics, “ When you said, time would heal us, I was so so crushed.” “Radioman” has a nostalgic 90s alt rock vibe featuring a driving guitar riff. The title track “Go It Again” is slower with a catchy, memorable guitar hook. “Familiar” has a steady bass riff with altering intensity of the guitars throughout and gives the song an upbeat feeling.

Go It Again contains many catchy choruses throughout. Songs like “Reasoned Treason” and “Go It Again” are slower and tuned back giving an atmospheric, moody feel. The rest of the album has steady energy with upbeat guitars resonating with rock fans. Listeners have the opportunity to catch the Lacer’s pre-release in addition to their first single on July 24th.
