Lucille Two’s vivid tones enhance the emotional complexity of the synth pop single “Seasons.” The sequenced melodies and guitar accents provide a sort of gently uplifting context for Trudy Bennett’s introspective vocals as she sings about a situation in which she’s let go of a relationship in which she now sees is long in the rearview and the processing the potential painful memories involved required a touch of disassociation to have the proper perspective. To embrace not knowing fully how you feel about the other person or about why it all eventually went sideways or dissolved. But knowing that you don’t want to go back and that any appeal that was once there is gone and you’re better in your head and in life because of it. The orchestration of melody and rhythm is reminiscent of a certain era of chillwave and how that music was the perfect vehicle for nuanced emotional expression but Lucille Two here doesn’t tap into feelings of nostalgia so much as a sense of moving forward out of the temptation of fond memories that can get us to gloss over when things weren’t so glowing.
