Leeds six-piece Talkboy make their live return in their hometown this Friday—but not before they've dropped a brand new bop to play there. 'Why Don't You Love Me Lana Del Rey' is out now and it's pretty great.

Rising and falling melodies join with jangling guitars and sweet but somewhat unhinged vocals in a dissonant song about unrequieted love.
"I was getting really bored of writing super specific songs about stuff that had exclusively happened to me, and on top of that, who even cares?" co-vocalist and guitarist Tim Malkin said of the single. "I think overall it’s about surface level encounters - how they are usually thought to be bad but can also be good. It was written just after lockdown one and I think I had quite a romantic yearning to speak to someone outside a pub about Neil Young in 1974”.
See Talkboy on Friday (3 September) at The Brudenell in Leeds.
