The recording project of Manchester-born, London-based songwriter Chi Limpiroj, Dunebug first caught our attention last year with single, ‘Impossible With You‘. The track embraced the best features of bedroom pop, “balancing sunny shimmers with a dark pulling weight underneath.” The result was a bittersweet sound that found beauty in the sadness of endings, weighing “what could be lost versus what might be possible in the aftermath of a failing relationship.”
Ahead of her debut full-length record, due to be released in the coming months, Dunebug has released a brand new single, ‘Lie to Me’. Where the previous song championed the courage in walking away from a relationship, the new track details the inverse situation. The early slide into something serious, where an otherwise casual relationship begins to deepen and communicating the sensation holds its own fraught weight. Will confessing the feelings send the other person running? Will they take advantage of the situation, and the submissive, vulnerable state required to express it?
Lie to me
And I’ll believe you
Every single word that passes your lips
Treat me like a fool
Check out the video directed by Sophie Davies, with cinematography from Michael Hobdell, starring Limpiroj alongside Niru Fekri-Arnold.
‘Lie to Me’ is out now, and be sure to follow Dunebug on Bandcamp, Facebook and Instagram, for more news on the forthcoming record.
