Straight off the back of explosive single *Throwaway*, Oslo-based alt-rock outfit **[Lazy Queen](http://www.lazyqueenband.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)**, who we have interviewed in the July issue of *Gscene*, continue down the rabbit hole of exploring the complex nature of addiction on new single, **[Sober](https://ingroov.es/sober-z?ref=scenemag.co.uk)*,* which explores the ongoing struggle of sobriety in an addictive personality.

**Henrik**, the band’s guitarist and lead singer, elaborates: *‘Growing up, I wish I’d been presented with a more nuanced picture of what recovery looks like. More often than not, I don’t really see the Hollywood-perfect story arc of heroically fighting your daemons, finding resolution and living happily ever after that we’re presented in a lot of media fitting into real life.*

*‘Recovery isn’t linear, it’s continuous work, and it’s okay to make mistakes along the way. It’s been important to me to remind myself that I’m not a total failure just because I haven’t reached that ‘perfect place’ yet, even though it might feel like it. It’s that frustration we wanted to capture in the song.’*

The new single *Sober* sonically appropriates that despondent, empty feeling after the party has come to a painful ending. Still emboldened with the raw, Lazy Queen spirit – it’s a potent, yet melancholic exploration of working to find balance and normality.
