Adam here with my DJ pick of the week from New York duo St. Lucia. “Walking Away” is the latest single off their album Hyperion released earlier this year. Jean-Philip Grobler and Patricia Beranek wrote the album during a time of major change in their lives, something very apparent in the lyrics.
Hyperion’s themes feel vital and necessary for the times we live in. The song “Gun,” for instance, is a play on the gun control debate, but also sexual relations from the point of view of power positioning. “A man can feel this need to control a woman, but a woman has her own sexual power at the same time,” he says. “Walking Away” is also about this debate. “Are we really talking about the real issues or are there deeper issues at work that we don’t want to talk about?” questions Grobler.
Listen to “Walking Away” below and let us know what you think!
