LCY is very online

London-based producer, DJ and visual artist LCY has taken us further into their post-human AI universe with new single “shhh” and the announcement of their forthcoming 6-track EP Pulling Teeth on 22 April. The follow up single to the bassy, metallic and ethereal audio-visual offering “Garden of E10” which introduced us to the main character of this sonic story, Ériu, “shhh” is a richly textured and percussive track full of secret mechanical communications.

Growing up participating in traditional Irish music and dance but with an estranged family of traditional Irish musicians, on Pulling Teeth LCY gets set to harness their desire to connect with something both familiar and alien in culture that holds both belonging and un-belonging in their consciousness.

To celebrate the new single, we slid into LCY’s DMs to talk about their earliest internet memories and Cocteau Twins-themed memes.

@hungermagazine: What’s your earliest Internet memory?

Playing a skateboarding game getting to the end to get the prize at the end and discovering it was porn, I was at the time being raised christian so I lay awake thinking I was going to hell for a long time after that.

@hungermagazine: What are your five most-used emojis?

🔥🤠👹⭐😝

@hungermagazine: You’ve switched to private mode on Spotify: what are you listening to?

Ariana Grande and Teezandos B2B (but proudly).

@hungermagazine: Do you use dating apps? Which ones?

I have a stunning gf but all my cute friends are on Hinge, so look out for them.

@hungermagazine: Have you ever been blocked?

I wouldn’t know because I blocked them first 😛

@hungermagazine: Last person you stalked on IG?

@angelbbyluna and Ella Lynch.

@hungermagazine: What’s your most-used app?

Duolingo.

@hungermagazine: What’s the longest amount of time you can go without being on your phone?

I wish I could not go on it for a year, I’d be stressing out a lot of people if I didn’t go on it for a day… so I guess 12 hours.
