Last month Newark mainstay Mean Lady dropped a new single, “The Ghost,” with the promise of an
upcoming full-length album, Nature.
The duo of Sam Nobles and Katie Dill have been on hiatus for a couple of years since vocalist Dill moved to Los Angeles after recording rough demos of “The Ghost” and other songs on the upcoming album in 2014. Since then, says keyboardist/bassist/producer Nobles, the songs have been collecting dust, but the pair recently decided to polish and release them.
“We sent the tracks back and forth online to share notes and ideas. We’re hoping to have a full, 10-song album out within the next month or two,” says Nobles.
“The Ghost” delves into human nature—or rather, its dark side, says Dill.
“It’s a song about evil. Like, ‘Hey, we are all responsible for the evil ones and what they decide to do, and hey, we are all responsible for what the little ones say because they are learning from our example.’ It’s also about not leaving people behind who are evil—if you love yourself more than you love them, then you keep the cycle of evil going.”
