It&#8217;s normal to feel these things and you don&#8217;t have to hide it, if you don&#8217;t want to.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><br><br>&#8220;<em>When we originally had the idea for the song, it was sort of a lighthearted joke actually&#8221;<\/em> continues Ella. &#8220;<em>But it quite quickly resonated with us, and we realized that this could maybe turn into a proper song. We recorded it with Jens Lindg\u00e5rd at Gula Studion here in Malm\u00f6, and I think his production matches the story and juxtaposition of the song perfectly. On first listen it maybe sounds like a lighthearted festival banger, especially with the big pumping chorus, but then you realise it&#8217;s actually quite sad.&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0<br><br><em>Normal Song<\/em> is out now digitally and is also set to be released on limited edition 7&#8243; vinyl\u00a0on July 5th\u00a0alongside the brand new <em>Daybreak<\/em> via PNKSLM Recordings. 7ebra is also out on tour now supporting Arab Strap on a week-long UK tour as well as visiting Denmark together with Kindsight (details below), with more tour dates to follow soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Live<\/strong> <strong>dates<\/strong><br>May 11 &#8211; K\u00f6penhamn, Denmark &#8211; Ideal Bar (w\/ Kindsight)<br>May 16\u00a0&#8211; Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark &#8211; Klaverfabrikken (w\/ Kindsight)<br>May 18\u00a0&#8211; \u00c5rhus, Denmark &#8211; Voxhall (w\/ Kindsight)<br>May 20\u00a0&#8211; Carlisle, UK &#8211; The Brickyard (w\/ Arab Strap)<br>May 21\u00a0&#8211; Sunderland, UK &#8211; The Fire Station (w\/ Arab Strap)<br>May 22\u00a0&#8211; Birmingham, UK &#8211; The Castle &amp; Falcon (w\/ Arab Strap)<br>May 23\u00a0&#8211; Bristol, UK &#8211; Colston Hall Lantern Theatre (w\/ Arab Strap)<br>May 24\u00a0&#8211; London, UK &#8211; Koko (w\/ Arab Strap)<br>May 25\u00a0&#8211; Manchester, UK &#8211; Gorilla (w\/ Arab Strap)<br>May 26\u00a0&#8211; Leeds, UK &#8211; Brudenell Social Club (w\/ Arab Strap)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>7ebra (Swedish twin sisters Inez and Ella Johansson) returns with\u00a0Normal Song.
