Cambridge emo rockers Lonesome have just announced details of their debut album, ‘In The Hope This Finds You’. The first full-length effort from the band will be released on September 19, through Easy Life records.
Along with the announcement on July 4, the group dropped a new single titled ‘You Say It’s Love’, giving fans a taster of what the upcoming album will hold. In a press release, they broke down the meaning of the new song: “Following the bruised introspection of ‘Save Your Words’, ‘You Say It’s Love’ sharpens the focus – no longer lost in aftermath, but standing face-to-face with the quiet duplicity of love spoken, not shown.
“This is not a song of heartbreak, but of exposure. It peels back the veneer of romantic performance, revealing the rot beneath sweet words left unproven. There is a simmering restraint here – a tension that asks, ‘What is love without truth?’ It’s a confrontation, not a collapse. The bitterness is measured, precise – ‘bleeding out the bitter heart of you’ doesn’t scream; it cuts. In that wound, the track finds its strength: the clarity that comes when illusions finally fall away.
“In the end, ‘You Say It’s Love’ doesn’t mourn what was lost – it questions whether it was ever there at all.”
A recent article from Already Heard detailed some of the storytelling behind ‘In The Hope This Finds You’, visually and conceptually. The release will centre around two characters: the anonymous figure (concealed beneath a red sheet) and the main protagonist. It’s said that the anonymous figure represents the “personification of deceit”, while the protagonist is embodied by two symbols: a blindfold and a crown. You can see some of this imagery manifest in their music video for ‘You Say It’s Love’, where both characters are present.
