Brooklyn power pop band Onesie release new single "Anemone In Lemonade"
Brooklyn power pop band Onesie has unveiled their new single "Anemone In Lemonade.”
The song arrives with an accompanying music video directed by vocalist Ben Haberland, who said this about the tune:
“The title came from playing with language- “Anemone” and “Lemonade” being phonetic cousins. That created an accidental metaphor of an ocean creature being scooped up and placed in a cramped, tiny space, immersed in unbreathable sweetness. Sort of like you’re moving ahead with your life plan, but still feeling out of place with the clock ticking. The tone was set for touching on those big middle age moments - marriage, having a kid, starting my own business, wondering if it’s time to leave the city.”
In the video, the band jam in front of a screen displaying a string of two-second AI-generated videos inspired by the song’s lyrics. Throughout the visual, viewers are greeted by appearances from “former mayor NYC Mayor Ed Koch battling leprechauns in a mosh pit, Tom Cruise kissing his organ donor clone, a dancing Ted Cruz puppet during the lyrics “A ponzi scheme to be believed”.”
"Anemone In Lemonade" comes from Onesie’s forthcoming studio album Liminal Hiss, which will be released on August 18, 2023 via Pillow Sail Records, Totally Real Records, and Kool Kat Musik. On the album’s release day, the band will hold an album release show at The Sultan Room with special guests Irrevery and Strange Neighbors. Tickets for the performance are on sale here. “Anemone In Lemonade” is available on digital services right now.
