Rippling through the emerging indie undercurrent with her trademark slacker-pop specialism, Lauran Hibberd shares the visuals for their rousing new anthem “How Am I Still Alive?” with The Regrettes’ Lydia Night. “The video is a collection of (lockdown available) ideas. A transatlantic home video with animation seemed to be the only way we could get Lydia and I side-by-side,” reveals the Isle of Wight indie sensation. “It’s based on documenting your every sleepless move (in the home video footage), whilst having your maddest thoughts and dreams (in the animation). I think it summarises how weird it is to live in a shut down world right now and where our minds go throughout.”
Marking the latest explosive addition to her ever-growing back catalog, “How Am I Still Alive?” sees Hibberd partner with esteemed producer Suzy Shinn (Weezer, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Dua Lipa) once again in impressive fashion, having drawn widespread acclaim for the pop-rock belter “Boy Bye” late last year, the second track taken from her upcoming Goober EP arriving on Friday, July 30.
With universal backing already throughout the tastemaker community (NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, DIY, Clash, Gigwise, Upset), and multiple nods across the BBC Radio 1 airwaves (Annie Mac, Huw Stephens, Jack Saunders), Hibberd’s reputation continues to progress at a remarkable rate, and with her biggest UK headline tour to date lined up this autumn, she’s certainly primed to take full advantage.
Produced by Suzy Shinn and mixed by Rob Kinelski (Billie Eilish, King Princess, FINNEAS), “How Am I Still Alive?” is out now and available via all digital platforms.
