Lake Malice Announces Debut Album: “I Wanna Know If It’s Real”
Release Date and Upcoming Single
Lake Malice, the dynamic duo that has been making waves in the alternative music scene, is set to release their highly anticipated debut album, I Wanna Know If It’s Real, on September 11. In an exciting lead-up to the album’s launch, they will be dropping a new single titled “Ghost In A Hell” on Wednesday, June 10. Fans can catch the duo performing live at the Download Festival this weekend, adding to the excitement surrounding their upcoming release.
Exploring Contemporary Themes
The forthcoming album delves into a wide range of themes that resonate with today’s society, including social media addiction, AI anxiety, nostalgia, trauma, identity, and the complex nature of success. The artists aim to distinguish between authenticity and mere performance in an era dominated by digital interactions.
A Personal and Historical Reflection
Vocalist Alice Guala shared insights into the creative process behind the album. “We wrote this album thinking about how we wanted something autobiographical, but also able to capture a moment in history and the feelings of a generation,” she explains. Guala highlights the unique experiences of millennials, noting the drastic shifts in social connections and measures of self-worth, particularly in light of the rapid advancement of AI technology.
Technology and Self-Reflection
Guala emphasizes that the album is not an outright critique of AI or technology. Instead, it seeks to explore the deeper fears and questions that arise from such radical changes. “In a matter of a few decades, we lived without the internet, then with social media, and now with AI,” she states, reflecting on the evolution of human interaction.
Questions of Connection and Authenticity
As they crafted their music, Guala and her bandmate found themselves grappling with fundamental questions about relationships and creativity in the digital age. “Are we making art if we skip an entire process and use a prompt to create it all from scratch? Are we making music to express ourselves or to go viral?” she ponders, challenging listeners to consider the nature of their connections and the motivations behind their creative endeavors.
