Ahead of her Paper Castles album, which arrives 22nd March, South African singer/songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou got to reveal the video for “Galaxies”. Now, having announced the tour dates for the European and North American legs of her 2019 album tour, fans are sure to catch up with her while she promotes the new LP.
Suspended a dreamy and soothing soundscape, “Galaxies” was produced by Noah Georgeson and it follows up on the success of her previous attempt, “Skin Crawl“.
About “Galaxies”, Lou explains; “…Happened on a rainy moody day in Berlin, my friend Harry Charles & I wrote this song while lying on the carpet of my room. Space had become such a theme in my life & music, not in a scientific way but more in a metaphorical sense; drawing parallels between a planet in the expansive universe & the way that one’s tiny & seemingly insignificant existence interacts with the world. This song is about being nothing & everything. Abut being overwhelmed by the weight of existence while simultaneously being in awe & wonder of it all. Galaxies came to life the first time we played in the Planetarium in Berlin; we’ve played 13 shows there now & every time I see the visuals come to life & the audience being swept away by the combination of the song with the projections of flying through the galaxies, the song makes so much sense”.
