Lilac - 'Touch'

Lilac continue their buzz with atmospheric with new single ‘Touch’.

‘Touch’ has been part of the band’s back catalogue since day one, being one of the original tracks the band together during lockdown in 2020. The song since it’s birth has now evolved into a euphoric indie anthem and is a big moment in the band’s live set.

After having recorded their previous releases ‘It’s Illusional’ and ‘Losing Myself (In You)’ in Lewis’s DIY bedroom studio, the band were eager to get into a studio to record Touch and work with a producer to create a darker tune with more grit than previously demoed.

In January 2023, Beth and Lewis travelled up to Liverpool’s most iconic recording studio – The Motor Museum to spend the day with Ben Harper (The Mysterines, The Luka State, The Sherlocks) to work on the track. Ben’s previous work with The Mysterines drew Lilac to work with him on Touch. As a result, the band have a darker floral indie tune with an atmospheric verse and a gritty anthemic chorus which suits their song that has more anger and lust than previous Lilac releases. It features one of Lilac’s most iconic ‘in your face’ guitar solos!
