Melbourne based LASHES continues her journey into immersive hyper pop storytelling with "Tangerine Sidecar"

Building on the success of her September hit, "Avalanche For You", LASHES explores a futuristic narrative in "Tangerine Sidecar". The single envisions a technologically advanced world on a distant planet, where life is enhanced by tailored AI companions. However, beneath the surface of this utopian veneer lies a longing for the raw, irreplaceable moments of human connection, like the warmth of a beachside walk or the intimacy of shared presence.

“In this new existence, you find yourself longing for the past, missing the small human moments that made life feel real, the story reflects the challenge of staying present and valuing what we have while we have it. Often, I only recognize the weight of a place or a person after it’s gone.”

Collaborating once again with Michael Belsar (Hayden James, Bob Moses), LASHES captures this bittersweet tale with her signature fusion of emotional depth and dynamic electro-pop beats. Mastered by Cam Trewin (Rüfüs Du Sol), the track blends nostalgic undertones with an uplifting, summery energy that transports listeners to another world.

The release of "Tangerine Sidecar" crowns a massive year for LASHES, filled with accolades and high profile performances. From supporting merci, mercy in Victoria to performing at Ballarat’s "Homegrown Festival" and "White Night", she has built a reputation for electrifying live performances. Earlier this year, her hyper pop hit "Hollow" became a standout track, featured on Triple J’s "On Ya Bike" live stream and ABC News Breakfast, earning massive reviews across the country and music community.

LASHES also gained recognition for her earlier releases, "Call Me When You Land" and "Make Your Move", which achieved airplay on Triple J Unearthed, and community radio. Her live debut at Melbourne’s "Colour Club" and a sold out hometown performance in Ballarat solidified her status as one of regional Victoria’s most compelling rising stars.

LASHES began her journey into music at just seven years old, choosing experimentation and raw emotion over traditional music theory. Now based in Melbourne, she channels her self taught expertise into a unique brand of heartfelt electro pop. Collaborating with some of the best local producers, she creates music that resonates deeply, balancing personal narratives with irresistible hooks.

With a lineup of new music ready to release, LASHES is setting the stage for an exciting future. Her ability to merge vivid storytelling with catchy electro-pop melodies continues to captivate fans and critics alike.
