Listen to Lonnie Gunn’s new single, Good Girls Go To Heaven

Lonnie Gunn has released a brand-new single, Good Girls Go To Heaven.

Recorded last summer, the track arrives before the rising artist supports Kim Gordon in London tomorrow night (April 14), and she says that it “reflects the eerie, painful realities of forcing yourself to be a stranger to someone you once knew intimately and being unable to let go. The song swallows all that frustration, yearning, and emotional repression and vomits it back out into a white-hot fuzz.

“The title itself is sort of an ironic remark about behaving in accordance with the ‘social guidelines’ instead of addressing the elephant in the room: the fact that this other person and I were once in love and can never unknow that feeling. Good Girls is a reveal of the subtext in the strained small talk and resisted eye contact. The final verses of the song act as a reluctant goodbye to the part of ourselves we once had with each other, or before each other, and will never have again.”

Watch the visualiser for Good Girls Go To Heaven below:

Catch Lonnie live supporting Kim Gordon at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire tomorrow evening, and then at The Great Escape in Brighton between May 13-16.
