Amsterdam band Rex have shared their new single ‘Lovers Like We Used To Be’, taken from their debut EP landing this spring. While their previous track ‘Palaces’ incorporated a dark post-punk styling, the latest offering is injected with jazz undertones with smokey alternative overlays. Jonathan Rex delivers a seducing performance as the entire package could easily fit the soundscape of a classic black and white film shot of the cigarette being lit at the bar.
Detailing the single, Rex stated:
“It’s a story that happens on a certain night, when you think it’s better to leave a person because all that you have done together is repetitive. You’re left feeling frustrated, but soon realise that it’s your own patterns that causes the friction. When you return, it’s too late and realise you hardly knew her.”
