"Talulah Paisley's New Single 'Slink' Premieres Soon"

Lyris Faron, known by her stage name Talulah Paisley, has returned with her second single “Slink” from her forthcoming debut album, Fool, set to release on June 11th. Following her captivating first single “What’s It Like?”, “Slink” offers an earnest and playful exploration of intimacy that is enriched by unique contributions from backing vocalists Greta and Alex of the band Frankie Cosmos along with Katie Von Schleicher.

The track showcases Paisley’s talent for blending whimsical melodies with heartfelt lyrics, as she sings phrases that resonate deeply, questioning the complexities of personal desires and relationships. The music video for “Slink,” co-directed by Faron and Savannah Magruder, adds a layer of visual storytelling as it features Faron adorned in a white jumpsuit and clown makeup, alongside playful imagery that nods to vintage pin-up culture. The video encapsulates the spirit of the song, highlighting vulnerability and an exploration of identity through a creative lens.

Talulah Paisley draws inspiration from diverse musical influences ranging from The Ronettes to The Velvet Underground, and her work is characterized by a sense of enthusiastic experimentation. “Slink” is part of a larger narrative, with Fool expected to explore themes of early adulthood and self-discovery shaped by numerous ‘firsts’ in life.

Critically recognized, Faron’s music has garnered attention from outlets such as The New York Times and Stereogum, with Pitchfork describing her work as “singular, unbelievably not derivative,” praising her commitment to creative world-building in a music landscape that can often feel repetitive.

Fans can expect not only an auditory feast but also a rich tapestry of storytelling and artistry that challenges conventional depictions of intimacy in popular media. Faron articulates her desire to depict a more nuanced representation of personal connections, tackling the awkwardness and complexity often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

In anticipation of Fool’s release, “Slink” will be available for streaming and viewing on April 25th. This builds momentum for Paisley’s upcoming performances, including a show at Alphaville in New York on April 26th. With a blend of addictive melodies, engaging visuals, and heartfelt reflections, Talulah Paisley’s new project promises to be a significant mark in the indie music scene.

Stay tuned for the official premiere of the “Slink” music video and be prepared to witness the whimsical and profound artistry that is Talulah Paisley.
