Lilly Carron releases new track 'Apricot Sun'.

Lilly Carron has just released her new single 'Apricot Sun' today. The song is from her upcoming 'And The Clouds Came Undone' EP.

On the new song, Carron shares: "'Apricot Sun’ is the desire to run towards something bright and inviting. To leave behind any bitter feelings, a bad week or a bad day, and exist in the now. It’s also about the desire to live in that carefree, sunbaked, calm at all times, but not really knowing how to get there. Waiting for the universe to part through the clouds and show the way.”

Clementine Valentine have shared the final album single, 'Selenelion' - off their upcoming album, 'The Coin that Broke the Fountain Floor'.

As a story the song is based on aspects of countless old folk songs and fables. A star-crossed dynamic. The meeting of a myological creature and a mortal, always ending in tragedy."
