After the track first teased in a virtual DJ set, fans have been clamoring for the release of Laura Les' new single "Haunted" and at long last the wait is finally over.
The artist's first solo single since 100 gecs' meteoric rise to fame with 1000 gecs and last year's follow-up remix album as well as her first to hit major streaming services, Laura Les is bringing us the same Monster energy drink-fuelled hyper pop we've come to expect but with a spooky twist. A cross between Art Angels-era Grimes and a chiptune cover of the Five Nights at Freddy's theme, "Haunted" is a flurry of giddy electro-pop and hair-thrashing emo jammed into a bite-sized one minute-and-44-second morsel.
Full of gothic imagery like "Everybody's evil and there's bugs inside the carpet/ Monsters in the trash can/ Ghosts inside the doorway," the track almost feels like a scene out of a horror movie with "blood all over" and new terrors seeming to hide around every corner. Feelings of anxiety and paranoia continue to mount as Les bats the listener around her sonic funhouse, leaving them disoriented and full of adrenaline as they come out on the other side.
Ahead of the release of "Haunted," PAPER caught up with Laura Les to dive into the inspiration behind the track and trade some ghost stories.
The song is mostly just about a feeling. Getting overwhelmed by a feeling and how it changes things around you. That sort of stuff lol idk it's not that deep, but that sort of idea, Paper cites.
Full lyrics of "Haunted" - Laura Les
"Am I going insane?
Running, running through the back alley
Blood all over and you know I've had enough
Insane, running, running through the back alley
Blood all over
You know I've had enough
Am I going insane?
Running, running through the back alley
Blood all over and you know I've had enough
Insane, running, running through the back alley
Blood all over
You know I've had...
Yeah, do you think it's cute that
I'm so fucking stupid
Tell me that it is, 'cause I'm tired of being useless, yeah
I've been up for three days
Everything is haunted
Everybody's evil and there's bugs inside the carpet
Do you think I'm frightening? Organ chords and lightning
If I show my fangs, will you tell me that they're cool?
Mirrors shatter when I'm passing, broken glass and crashing…"
