Wyvern Lingo offer 'Only Love, Only Light', new single ahead of album 2 'Awake You Lie'

Latest track follows the successes ‘Don’t Say It’ and ‘Rapture’ as the new album release draws nearer.

‘“Only Love Only Light” is about that kind of feedback loop of self-love versus self-loathing. I wrote it when I was going through a particularly dark phase of hating my face, while simultaneously cringing at myself for caring so much about it.’ - Caoimhe Barry, Wyvern Lingo.

Buoyed by the warm responses from fans and media alike to ‘Don’t Say It’, ‘Rapture’ and ‘Things Fall Apart’, Wyvern Lingo are ready to reveal another taste of their highly-anticipated second album ‘Awake You Lie’, in the shape of record opener ‘Only Love, Only Light’.

‘Awake You Lie’ will be released on Friday 26th February. Recorded in JRS studios in Berlin pre-COVID, with the final tweaks managed in lockdown Ireland, ‘Awake You Lie’ comes almost two years to the day after their widely acclaimed, Choice Music Prize-nominated, debut album.

The tracks released thus far, accompanied by videos filmed in both Berlin and Bray, show a band brimming with confidence in their sound, relaxed in their environment, but still ready to ask hard questions about their place in the world.

The album title - ‘Awake You Lie’ - is taken from a line in the new song ‘Aurora’, the phones-aloft, showstopper that closes side 1 of the record.

The band add:

“A recurring image during this album writing process was light, the lack thereof, and wanting to see things more clearly, for ourselves and others. We called the album "Awake You Lie" because it evokes an image of night-time when someone should be sleeping but can’t, due to restlessness or worry. Things are always clearer in the light of day"

‘Awake You Lie’ by Wyvern Lingo is released by Rubyworks on Friday 26th February 2021 on vinyl, CD and digital platforms.
