Scrounge – Higher

Scrounge, the London-based duo of Lucy Alexander (vocals/guitar) and Luke Cartledge (drums), have unveiled their forthcoming debut album, Almost Like You Could, set for release on April 18 via Ba Da Bing! Leading the charge is their latest single, “Higher”—a bristling, short-and-sweet track.

Thematically, Scrounge doesn’t shy away from the heavy stuff. Their music explores economic inequality, environmental destruction, and political corruption, all while advocating for collective change.

The album, Almost Like You Could, represents 18 months of labor during a whirlwind period of teaching, touring, graduation, and a wedding. Despite their busy schedules, the pair’s dedication to crafting meaningful music remained steadfast. S

“Higher” is more than just an introduction to their album—it’s a manifesto for Scrounge’s philosophy. It’s a call to action, both personal and political, and a cathartic outlet for anyone seeking meaning in today’s turbulent times.
