West London artist Lava La Rue delivers catchy track ‘Vest & Boxers’, a queer anthem rooted in dating as a queer teen. With a bright music video that compliments the comedic yet deeply relatable vibes of the production. Crafted with the intention to capture the queer experience outside of the EDM-infused club space, the track finds its feet as the representative house party song that makes us feel seen while we dance our troubles away.

Speaking of the track Lava shared: “I wrote Vest & Boxers to be deeply relatable of what dating was like for myself and my teen lesbian / nblw friends growing up. I reference all the little moments we joke about - not knowing if you’re on a date or just meeting up as friends, walking into their bedroom for the first time and thinking how good it smells, not coming home for 2 days after the first night together and deciding to just move in. We were all guilty of it! Vest & Boxers is what we would refer to as our ‘dyke uniform’ - we’d wear it under our baggy denim/oversized suits with the waist band showing as a little signal to all the other gays in the room.”
