Lacuna Coil is back and they brought New Years Day vocalist Ash Costello with ’em! Lacuna Coil is now streaming “In The Mean Time” featuring Costello, which is a song about the mean times the world is living in. The song comes alongside a video directed by Patric Ullaeus for rEvolver Film Company AB, which you can check out above.
“‘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,” said Lacuna Coil of the single. “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.”
Costello added: “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.”
