Seattle dreampop artist Natalie Lew b.k.a. Sea Lemon has delivered their new single "Sweet Anecdote" today.

The track comes weeks after Lew’s collaboration with Death Cab For Cutie’s Ben Gibbard. Lew said this about the new single, which comes with a visualizer courtesy of Alexa Terfloth:

"'Sweet Anecdote,' of all of my songs up until this point, was the shortest song to come from nothing to finished. I worked on it in my producer Andy's studio, first with the underlying guitar and then with synths, quickly building the architecture of the song in an hour or so. Immediately after identifying the sort of eerie melodic structure of the song, I felt really compelled to write lyrics about being in love to the point of obsession. The internet as a whole contributes to my feeling that I know too much about people, and I wanted to lean into the darker and more sinister sides of that with this song, as the narrator firmly believes the person they are watching is 'the one.' I love art (movies, music, books) that is unsettling—not overwhelmingly scary or horrifying—and Sweet Anecdote is meant to be an unsettling song in both melody and lyrics that I'm excited to share."

"Sweet Anecdote" is available on digital services right now via Luminelle Recordings.
