Lacuna Coil Recruit New Years Day’s Ash Costello for “In The Mean Time”
A new track from Lacuna Coil has begun making the rounds today and this time, they’ve got some added back up in the form of New Years Day’s Ash Costello in the mix. Along with an accompanying music video, the new track “In The Mean Time.”
Premiered and featured exclusively by Sirius XM radio’s Liquid Metal (featuring everyone’s favorite science-loving host, Jose Mangin), the band says the meaning behind the track stems from the lack of civility that seems to exist in the general public these days.
“’In The Mean Time’ is a reflection on how much our society has generally ‘lost the plot’. We are living in really mean times filled with unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive. The pressure that crushes from the outside doesn’t allow to see things with the right clarity. This song is like group therapy: not a lamentation, but acceptance that once broken, it’s hard to put oneself back together again. We need to take our minds off all the inescapable toxicity and find that there’s so much more to this life… and know that in the meantime, everything cannot be aligned.
“We invited Ash Costello from New Years Day to feature on the track and we’re thrilled she came on board adding exactly what we needed for this song with her warm voice and charisma.”
Speaking from their own experience, Costello said they were absolutely stoked to be a part of Lacuna Coil’s story, let alone part of the band’s latest single.
“I am deeply honored to join Lacuna Coil on tour for the first time, to have the incredible opportunity to lend my guest vocals to a new track and appear in the music video. Working alongside the powerhouse vocalist Cristina has been a privilege, and I may be biased in saying that ‘In The Mean Time’ has quickly become my favorite by Lacuna Coil. Its message about embracing individuality and not conforming deeply resonates with me.”
