London-based, female-led rock band X-Ray Love makes a powerful return with their latest single, “Another Time.” Capturing the essence of human endurance, the track is a raw, emotive journey that blends the grit of post-punk with soulful melodies. Led by the magnetic Ella Day, the band channels influences from Blondie, The Ramones, and Patti Smith while carving out a space entirely their own.
Written and recorded in London following the band’s move from New York City, “Another Time” is both a tribute to their journey and a universal anthem of survival. Day reflects, “I dedicate this song to anyone who has gone through the dark night of the soul. There’s a primal sadness, but also a beautiful offering of hope. It’s about survival, finding your feet again.”
The track’s lyrical depth is matched by a dynamic soundscape that evolves with its narrative. From introspective verses to soaring choruses, the arrangement mirrors the resilience and emotional highs and lows it seeks to capture. Co-produced by industry legend Andy Macpherson and mastered by Jon Astley, “Another Time” strikes a perfect balance between raw rock energy and polished sophistication.
X-Ray Love’s upcoming debut EP, “Have it for Lunch,” promises to solidify their rising-star status. With a major European tour planned for 2025, “Another Time” sets the stage for what is sure to be a monumental year for the band.
