Lynks has released a new single, (What Did You Expect From) Sex With A Stranger.
The electro-pop track follows on from recent singles Use It Or Lose It and New Boyfriend, and arrives ahead of their live dates in spring, which include newly announced European shows in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and more. Lynks said:
"Now, Grindr can be a wonderful thing - don’t get me wrong. But I wrote this song during a time when I was using Grindr almost like TikTok or Instagram; as a way to distract myself from reality - to not be alone with my thoughts. And, unsurprisingly, the sex that came from that wasn’t hugely fulfilling.
"I was seeking these encounters to try and distract myself from the mundanity of life, but ultimately leaving them feeling no different. I wanted to try and capture that weird oxymoron; sex without feeling, romance in a coma. What does sex become when it’s devoid of emotion? Transactional? Routine? Obligatory? Compulsive? It’s a funny idea. And one I hadn’t really heard put to music before. So I thought I’d better do it! And shout out the Docklands Light Railway in the process."
