The synth-pop dance project Ejecta muster a third single off of their debut LP, on track for November release.
Ejecta is a collaborative side project between Neon Indian’s Leanne Macomber and Joel Ford of Ford And Lopatin. Continuing the aesthetic of previous releases “Afraid Of The Dark” and “Jeremiah (The Denier)”, “It’s Only Love” is a tight dance track with gossamer vocals, turning into dark territory at times but maintaining an upbeat groove.
Regarding the nude album art, Stereogum shared neat explanation gleaned from the band’s press release:
Macomber describes Ejecta as a character, one that conceptually represents her various inner-struggles, and yet also as a way to “deflect” them. This alternate identity acts a conduit for Macomber’s countless longings, and as such is always depicted completely nude. Leanne explains a desire for Ejecta to be “universal” and “timeless,” and this heartbreaking pop record is certainly capable of being both of those things. But she also refers to the character as both an “everywoman” and even an “everyman.” And in that way, it becomes evident that we are dealing with a character.
Keep alert: Ejecta is on the roster for this weeks’ CMJ Music Marathon in New York.
