“It’s about the effect love has. Warm at first, but like sun’s rays, it ages
us,” says singer Janaysa Lambert. EP arrives May 7th.

“U.V.” is
the first single from the upcoming self-titled debut EP by Mortar & Pestle

“U.V.” music video streaming

Oakland, California–based trio Mortar & Pestle is set to release its debut EP on May 7th
via the local label Post Primal. The arresting first single “U.V.” recently premiered via SPIN.
“‘U.V. is about the effect
love has,” says lead singer Janaysa
Lambert. “It’s warm at first, and fills us with expansive joy, but not
unlike the rays of the sun, it can age us quickly.”
The sounds of a pinball machine in the opening of the tune
might say fun, but give way to a darkness that is real. Born on the kitchen piano of a studio
apartment, days after Lambert and
keyboardist Paul Shinichi first met
at a mutual friend’s party, the two were joined within the year by drummer Sean Paul Duke. Tragically, the friend
who brought them together met with an untimely death shortly after she gave the
band its name.
“She wanted to be the one to name us,” says Shinichi. “We were struggling with a
name for months, and then she came up with Mortar
& Pestle. I think honoring her life is one reason why we are together.
This album is really about her.” The
band is also now completing a music video for “U.V.” that is as moving as the song itself. A trailer for the clip is streaming now.
Members of Mortar
& Pestle are available for interviews.
