LULU BIANCO is a new Swiss energetic post-punk/new wave project that has been gaining some recognition in the Swiss underground. The band shared a little insight about the song with us:
“Gazelle” rushes forward on urgent post-punk guitars and a dreamy lead line. A hypnotic anthem of young love, echoing the moods of DIIV and The Cure.
I could definitely hear the post-punk influences tied to dreamy indie rock, as seen in the work of DIIV or Beach Fossils. The song is quite energetic, clocking in under 3 minutes, and will captivate you right away with its infectious melody. Additionally, they are singing in the music in German, which could be translated as “We run fast like a gazelle,” and the melody feels exactly like that.
The lyrics share glimpses of memories, conveying the overall impression that we need to run like a gazelle. You can find your own meaning in it, so I will share the full lyrics in German below, allowing you to explore it yourself. I am also dusting off my German when listening to this one. I cannot remember if we ever shared a post-punk, dreamy track sung in German, so this makes it special.
I could see this being quite energetic live, and the audience would dance to this so hard. I would! What a great, energetic track! I am intrigued to see what the band will create next, and I will gladly check it out. In the meantime, I will dance to this one at home, sitting on the couch, as that is my ultimate blogging position. Writing and dancing on the sofa.
ich hans genau so welle
ich gseh die welle zerschelle
du chaschs allne verzelle
mer ränne schnell wie gazelle
ich glaub en spieler dörf sich au mol chli gönne
es isch sunntig ich bin wiedermal am penne
und wenn du mech verlohsch denn muess ich flenne
mer sind frei und mer müend ränne
wie gazelle
us de auge, usem sinn
küss mech ich werd blind
ufem ipod losisch blink
182
wolke wärde lila, chalt eschs sit oktober
ich säg der öppis girl
call mech nur no sober
