Ointment

The Danish alternative rock band HalfCutLemon will release the single "Ointment" from their forthcoming album "This Ain't Real" on 23 May. A powerful mix of punk energy and melodic melancholy, the song explores the insecurities of youth and the ways in which people mask their vulnerability - be it through religion, aesthetics or social identity. Formed out of a shared love of raw emotion and genre-bending storytelling, HalfCutLemon fuses post-punk grit with cinematic textures. Their forthcoming album, including the new track 'Ointment', was produced by the legendary Flemming Rasmussen at Sweet Silence Studio. "Ointment" also features a stellar cast of guest contributors. Danish underground icon Peter Peter adds second vocals and, together with acclaimed composer Peter Kyed, contributes cello and strings to enhance the song's emotional middle section.
