Fall Into The Lie Saint Sappho

As Saint Sappho, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Zoe Young and drummer Tammy Dyson make expansive music that reaches out to hazy new realms, while simultaneously channeling the emotive pull of shoegaze, grunge and 90s electronica. Their latest track ‘Fall Into The Lie’, released on 29 November, is a stirring injection of bass synthesizer, industrial drums, spacious vocals, and hazy delay-driven guitars.

‘Fall Into The Lie’ is both dreamy and defiant – ethereal electronics yield to a robust percussive groove and deeply penetrating lyrics. As the state of the world around us appears to grow more fractured by the day, here Saint Sappho muse on the slippery topics of religion, politics and contemporary culture. The song is both a warning and a rallying cry; when it feels as though your voice goes unheard and your individual efforts come to nothing, it’s all too easy to “fall into the lie”.

Fall Into The Lie is an unassuming, powerful rock song that sits alongside the likes of Fontaines DC, Massive Attack and Radiohead. It follows on from their recent track End Of The World, the pair’s heady take on 90s alt-rock, and the double single Too Far Gone/ Fade Away, all released on Optimo Music’s new Optimo Music Rocks imprint.
