LASHES Unveils Futuristic New Single ‘Tangerine Sidecar’

Melbourne’s genre-bending artist LASHES has returned with her latest single, Tangerine Sidecar, a vibrant track that immerses listeners in a bittersweet, futuristic tale. Known for her ability to craft vivid musical worlds, LASHES explores themes of nostalgia, human connection, and the allure of artificial perfection in her new release.

Tangerine Sidecar imagines life on another planet, enhanced by a flawlessly tailored AI companion. Yet beneath the glossy facade, the song reveals a longing for the irreplaceable moments that define humanity—walking on the beach, the warmth of touch, and the depth of real connection. LASHES describes the track as a reminder to treasure life’s fleeting, authentic experiences.

“In this new existence, you find yourself longing for the past, missing the small human moments that made life feel real – a walk on the beach, body heat, the depth of human connection. The story reflects the challenge of staying present, of valuing what we have while we have it. I often only recognise the weight of a place or a person after it’s gone.” – LASHES.

Collaborating once again with producer Michael Belsar (Hayden James, Bob Moses), LASHES blends dreamy synths and sugar-sweet hyperpop elements to craft a sound that is both playful and tender.

The single follows her previous release Avalanche For You and caps off a stellar year for LASHES, including live performances at major festivals and glowing praise from big tastemakers. LASHES never ceases to amaze and gets better with each release.
