Sea Lemon, the project of Seattle musician Natalie Lew has been winning our hearts over the years with her fantastic songs. She has since signed to Luminelle Recordings who has shared her ethereal single “Cellar.”
The track taps into that sweet dreamy pop sound that she showcased on her debut EP, but delivers it in an ever more awe-inspiring and fully formed fashion that feels like Mazzy Star, Slowdive and Alvvays combined.
On the track, Lew adds:
“‘Cellar’ was inspired by my love of really classic horror and thriller films, like Blow Out and Misery, and how loving scary movies can sometimes feel like something is wrong with you. That idea of the ‘cellar’ in the song is based on the traditional horror trope where the protagonist can’t help but discover what’s lurking in the basement, and that what they find there often represents something really dark and horrifying. In the lyrics, I say ‘the cellar is where I belong’ which is me grappling with this idea that sometimes really terrifying imagery interests me the most.”
