strawberry lust by Strawberry Lust

A strawberry with a bite taken out, hanging delicately at the fingertips, tempting and dripping with sweetness.

In a dimly lit room, the only light comes from the screen, where messages await eagerly to be read. A half-drawn journal lies nearby, with satin-ribboned curtains framing the window, revealing nothing but gray concrete and flickering LEDs beyond.

Wandering into a vast green ocean — if I sing to you every night beneath the stars, will I receive your answer?

A hazy reverie swirls, swallowing black and purple juices through layers of mist, pierced by the moon’s blade. In that instant, light radiates from the darkness, splashing forth and soaking into our bodies, as warm moisture rises, only to evaporate and disappear into the air.

"This secret remains between you and me."

This album attempts to materialize dreams and emotions, narrating midnight fantasies and everyday scenes.
It’s a mind heated by overwhelming desire, a dizzy drift through a whirlpool, a cry still resonating softly in the silence.
The sound is filled with classic shoegaze noise walls and dreampop’s ethereal leaps, while cracks of melancholic distortion seep in from the background.
Is it an inevitable ending or a bottomless void?
Whether there is hope or none at all, the power of residual hope bursts forth.


*About Strawberry Lust Band*

Strawberry Lust, a shoegaze/dreampop/轟音band from Guangzhou, draws inspiration from various musical influences, infusing their favorite aesthetics into their work. The band consists of vocalist Laora Gein, guitarists Fungfung and Xiaoyi, bassist Keldorns, and drummer Zhulin.

— "If you like strawberries, you'll buy them without hesitation. Liking is simple."

Formed in 2022, the band spent two years performing in the indie music scene before finally completing their debut full-length album. The name “Strawberry” & “Lust” forms the album's essence — vocals that are sweet and syrupy yet tinged with unsettling bitterness, layered atop airy, floating, and euphoric instrumental performances.
A restrained calmness intertwines with bursts of dreamy desires, with a hint of a smile peeking through a gloomy, overexposed surface.
