Lala Lala has shared new single “Arrow,” the track is off the artists’s album  Heaven 2, out February 27th via Sub Pop Records. “Arrow” marks a moment of bold joy, capturing the escape that happens when one is freed from pain. The song samples French electro-pop band La Femme . “None of this was supposed to happen,” Lillie West aka: Lala Lala sings, as the song races away from her. “It’s such a basic spiritual thing,” West reflects. “Resistance is the root of all suffering, and I did not know that. I thought that I could dictate the course of my life.” Of course, like everyone else, she could not. Wherever you go, there you are.

For many years, West lived in Chicago where she established Lala Lala as an integral part of the city’s indie scene, releasing two albums – The Lamb (2018) and I Want the Door to Open (2021) – on the Sub Pop imprint Hardly Art. West left Chicago to search for more and, in the process, wrote Heaven 2. On her journey, she landed off the grid in Taos, Iceland, and London. Following a residency in a tiny Icelandic town, she made her way to Reykjavik and released an instrumental album, If I Were A Real Man I Would Be Able To Break The Neck Of A Suffering Bird (2024), and finally headed to Los Angeles, where she has, almost surprisingly, fallen in love and found herself settled.

Heaven 2. was co-produced by West and Jay Som’s Melina Duterte.  Duterte and West performed almost all of the album’s instruments with a few crucial guests, including Sen Morimoto, Macie Stewart, and Porches’ Aaron Maine.
