The birth of Lauren Mayberry as a solo artist should be marked by something like a wolf cry.

Mayberry, 37, is enjoying the freedom to create whatever she likes, away from the synth-pop of the band she has been with since her early 20s. “I knew that I wanted it to be more focused on the storytelling,” she says. “It was nice to be able to go into a studio with a title idea or with a concept and then work back from that.”“It was those influences I wanted to dig into a bit more in my own material,” she says. “When I thought back to what are the key influences on me as a writer, it isn’t really a lot of synth-pop stuff. So then it’s interesting that that’s what I became so associated with.
“We didn’t really have one specific lane in mind for the genre we were going down," he says."We were just being experimental, and I guess the freedom within that just brought us something a bit different.”and by her mother's illness."Keep thinking one day maybe I will find the beauty in goodbye,” she sings. The title comes from funeral clothes.
“The lyrics I like least that I’ve written are ones that I know didn’t feel very authentic to me,” she says. “I think you can hear in somebody’s physical voice when they’re singing, whether they mean something or not. So my only brief is like, 'Does it feel fake?'” The album ends with the somber piano-led “Are You Awake?” as Mayberry takes a hard look at her life choices. Her friends have settled down — “Been counting their babies and their diamond wedding rings” — and her career expectations are heavy: “Hometown hero is a poisoned chalice choice," she sings.
