about

The garage-punk and acid-corroded new-wave outfit that is Chemtrails first emerged as a 5-piece in 2016, having started life as the lo-fi bedroom recording project of romantic partners Mia Lust and Laura Orlova.

They were quickly snapped up and signed by Swedish label PNKSLM Recordings and released a string of three EPs and two LPs between 2016 and 2020, drawing the attention of the likes of KEXP, Stereogum, The Line of Best Fit and more as well as touring Europe and the UK.

Now they’re back with a new single, coming ahead of their support gig for Dream Wife in Manchester. Served on a bed of fuzzy guitars and polychromatic pop, they this time sing in Laura's native German and once again showcase their ear for melody.

Chemtrails on the new single: "A lost soul prays a blasphemous prayer, lamenting that the world would be better without life in it. Mother Nature responds to the prayer with love and kindness but it falls on deaf ears - the response is in German."

lyrics

Kommt her
Meine Liebchen
Nun kommt in meine Arme und bleibt hier
Mit mir
Ich leite euch zurück zur Ursprungstür
Meine Tierchen
Legt euch zu meinen Füßen und sagt mir
Ihr seid mehr als ein abscheuliches Geschwür

Everything was normal
In reality
Until eyeballs appeared
What did they see?

I’m an aberration
Crawling out the sea
Born a fossil
Nature’s profligacy

It’s a blasphemous prayer
Strike me down if you’re there

Kommt her
Meine Bestien
Verliert euch neuermals in Eden's Wahn
Und dann
Benehmt euch wie Drecksviecher ohne Scham
Meine Schätzchen
Komm trinkt von meiner Milch die ist noch warm
Nicht alle meine Schöpfung ist grausam

Everything was normal
In reality
Until eyeballs appeared
What did they see?

I’m an aberration
Crawling out the sea
Born a fossil
Nature’s profligacy

It’s a blasphemous prayer
Strike me down if you’re there

It’s a blasphemous prayer
Smite me now if you dare
