7ebra, have dropped new single 7″ “Daybreak/Normal Song.” The Swedish indie Duo’s tracks are available today via PNKSLM Recordings (The Mary Veils). Comprised of twin sisters Inez and Ella Johansson, follows their debut album Bird Hour. “Normal Song”, is a natural continuation thematically from Bird Hour, with the new single finding the duo not only embracing their melancholy, but celebrating it.

“I see the song being about trying to please everyone but failing, having a lot of things that need to get done, but all you want to do is close yourself off and cry in the corner” explains singer Inez. “But then you think about it and say no, actually, I shouldn’t have to suppress this despair I’m feeling – I wanna cry in an open field. It’s normal to feel these things and you don’t have to hide it, if you don’t want to.”

“When we originally had the idea for the song, it was sort of a lighthearted joke actually” continues Ella. “But it quite quickly resonated with us, and we realized that this could maybe turn into a proper song. We recorded it with Jens Lindgård at Gula Studion here in Malmö, and I think his production matches the story and juxtaposition of the song perfectly. On first listen it maybe sounds like a lighthearted festival banger, especially with the big pumping chorus, but then you realise it’s actually quite sad.”

“Normal Song” is out now together with “Daybreak”, available digitally and on limited edition 7″ vinyl. 7ebra recently completed a tour of the UK with Arab Strap.
