Lava La Rue has shared their new single ‘Scratches’.

The track was produced and co-written by Dimitri Tikovoï, known for his work with The Libertines, Charli XCX and Blondie.

The single is taken from their forthcoming EP ‘Do You Know Everything?’, which will be released in early 2026 via BMG. The title cheekily spells out the acronym ‘DYKE’, which Lava calls “a funny way to encapsulate the queerness of the record while marrying it with the political and existential side of the project.”

“‘Scratches’ was one of those songs that unlocked a new tone in my voice,” Lava explains. “It was the first time I really let my vocals be unpolished, sitting in that in-between space – not overly stylised, just feeling everything in the moment.”

The single marks a new chapter for Lava La Rue, being their first release written and recorded with a full live band. “It’s still undeniably my story, but I’m writing with people whose sounds have become part of the DNA too. It feels more like a band now – like we’re forming a collective language.”
