Listen to Lande Hekt’s new single & cover of The Wedding Present’s “Octopussy”

Bristol, UK singer-songwriter and Muncie Girls leader Lande Hekt has followed up last year's excellent solo debut with a new 7" single that's out on Emotional Response Records. The a-side is the lovely, understated and charming original, "Romantic," while the b-side is a terrific cover of The Wedding Present's Seamonsters classic, "Octopussy."

“It’s a song about struggling to fit in, feeling down and finding comfort in romance,” says Lande of "Romantic." “Connecting with someone because you both feel like you don’t belong.” You can watch the video for "Romantic" and listen to "Octopussy" below.

Lande will open for Laura Jane Grace's Canadian tour in September. All dates are listed below.
