Her performance is, "a psychedelic display of lyric poetry in the form of an understated, powerful show." -TriState Indie. In 2012 Lunic was the winner of the PlanetRox competition and was chosen as the US headliner for the Envol et Macadam Festival in Quebec City, Canada. In 2013 Lunic was the Grand Prize Winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in the Electronic Category for her song, "War."

Page, born in upstate NY, attended university in Nashville, TN and moved to Los Angeles in 2003. Her experience as a performer began as an electric violinist and keyboard player in various LA-based pop/rock bands, most notably the Australian rock band Porcelain (Universal Records). Page began writing songs in early 2005 after seeing the British alt. rock band Muse perform live at Coachella Music Festival. In 2007 she relocated to London, and spent the next 7 years touring, traveling the world, writing new music, & studying Spanish, French, & German. Much of the inspiration for her writing is derived from her travels. To date she has visited 25 countries.

Her first release, in 2006, was a collection of piano-based alternative songs called The Uglylights (demos), written & recorded in California, followed quickly by the EP Splinter, recorded in London in just 3 days. They were followed up in 2009 by Lunic's first fan-funded album Lovethief, written & recorded in upstate NY. In 2012, she released Future Sex Drama, a full-length written & recorded in Germany & New York City, originally described as “sultry, ethereal synthpop” by Lunic herself. She has also released a plethora of digital singles on iTunes over the years: Beautiful, Dichotomy, Oh No Yoko!, Magic Love-Hate Thing, Far Away (Radio Edit), The Dark House (Elliot Tribal Remix).

On Future Sex Drama, Lunic begins taking her first steps as a producer, bringing together the experimentation behind her early work and a cutting edge pop aesthetic. A blend of dark ethereal synthpop and electronic rock similar to Metric, The xx, Lights or Ladytron, Future Sex Drama is, "Glossy enough for the dance floor but retaining that sinister edge." -CMJ. Each album tackles a different set of influences and styles. This approach has allowed the project to remain flexible and evolving.

Lunic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

you're what keeps me awake and you're what lets me sleep
you live inside me yet you're miles away
you make me remember, you make me forget
you take me places that i've never been
i wanna scribble your name on this page until it rips right through
i wanna hold you so hard you can't move
let's break the rules let's make a new game
let's ignore the hypocrites who cares what they say

let's satiate this thing
together
you are ancient you are youth, sweet dichotomy
you're the drug and you're the cure, so enticing
so alive that it kills me every time
you're so dumb just like me but still so wise
i wanna scream i love you until i lose my voice
i want you more than anyone and it's not my choice
let's break the rules let's make a new game
let's ignore the hypocrites who cares what they say

let's satiate this thing
together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lunic's song "Dichotomy" express the complexities of a relationship that is both exhilarating and challenging. The singer is torn between conflicting emotions and experiences that come from being with someone who has such a powerful hold over them. The person they address is both a source of excitement and a source of stability - they keep the singer awake yet allow them to sleep, and they evoke both memories and forgetfulness.

The singer speaks of wanting to possess the other person completely, whether it's through writing their name obsessively or holding them so tightly that they can't move. However, they also express a desire to break away from societal norms and expectations, to create their own rules and games. They want to be able to indulge in this relationship without caring about the opinions of others, and they want to experience it together.

Overall, the song highlights the different dimensions of a relationship, the push and pull of conflicting emotions, and the desire to create something entirely unique and personal.
