Lemony Rug – „Uppercut“ (EP) + Exclusive Interview

Credit: Konrad Laukat

1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to sip on while they listen to your new music?

I think for this EP (called Uppercut) something punchy would fit nicely, so why not sip on a „Planters Punch“ while listening?!;)

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

The last song that I released for my EP is called 1000 Pieces which is about letting go of things that weigh you down. In my EP Uppercut the theme is keeping your head up in difficult, chaotic times. There’s a lot of the indie vibe back that I started my project off with, but it also has some dreamy, folky elements and songs on the record. Can’t wait to play this bunch of songs live, celebrating the release with two release shows in Berlin and Hamburg end of November with my band.

3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)

All rocks are soft until you go to touch them.

4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

low profile Lemony cap 😉

5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?

The EP touches on a few topics such as relationships over the years, also to oneself, Uppercut for example is a song about keeping your head up whatever life may throw at you… but go have a listen, I’m a fan of the thought that everyone has their own meaning in the end.

6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?

I can wiggle my ears;)

7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!

I’m a fan of lemons.;)

I write and play the instruments for most of the songs myself.

I don’t dye my hair, it’s vitiligo.;)

I love harmonies!

I started out as a singing drummer.

8. The road so far…. who or what was your biggest support??

People honestly! So grateful for my fans, especially the ones in my „inner-circle“ as I like to call it. I joined something called „Fanklub“, similar to Patreon (where you can get early access to songs, demos, win guest list, merch etc.) and this is a huge support for me. Not being dependent on the algorithm feels so good, knowing you can reach people directly, beautiful exchange!

9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls

Is this the real life, is this just fantasy? – I don’t know…!
