Premiered on BBC Radio 6’s Steve Lamacq Show on September 15th, 2025, Korda Korder’s new single “You Still Turn Me Inside Out” is a spellbinding masterclass in dream-pop artistry. Following the success of their breakout debut “What Have You Done,” this Hastings-born, East Sussex-based quartet have returned with a track that feels both intimate and infinite — a sonic experience that wraps you in its shimmering haze and refuses to let go.
Korda Korder have quickly made a name for themselves as one of the UK’s most exciting new acts, and “You Still Turn Me Inside Out” confirms why. It’s a majestic slice of dream pop — the kind of song that feels suspended between consciousness and memory. The band’s ethereal soundscape, built from layers of swirling synths, reverb-drenched guitars, and ghostly vocals, creates a sense of drifting through another world. Yet, beneath the dreamlike surface lies a pulse of emotional truth, a human heartbeat that makes their music feel alive.
The song’s lyrical core is described as a “gothic lament — a haunting confession of spiritual awakening.” That description feels entirely accurate. Lyrically, “You Still Turn Me Inside Out” is a tender reckoning with love’s lingering power — the way certain connections never quite fade, no matter how much time passes. It’s addressed to a long-time lover whose presence still unsettles the soul, blurring the line between past and present. The result is a song that feels like a confession whispered into the fog, at once haunting and cathartic.
Musically, Korda Korder walk a fine line between nostalgia and innovation. There are clear echoes of Beach House, Alvvays, and Lana Del Rey, yet their sound carries its own unique fingerprint — a fusion of retro melancholia and modern atmosphere. The production, rich yet restrained, lets the textures breathe. Each element — the gliding guitars, the steady percussion, the spectral vocals — seems to melt into one another, creating a sound that feels infinite but never cluttered. It’s a testament to the band’s growing maturity and attention to detail.
What truly sets “You Still Turn Me Inside Out” apart is its emotional precision. The band captures that bittersweet feeling of remembering someone who once defined you, balancing fragility with quiet power. The melody unfolds slowly, like light filtering through mist, and by the time the chorus arrives, it feels less like a hook and more like a wave — washing over you, pulling you under, and leaving you breathless.
It’s no wonder that tastemakers across the UK have rallied behind Korda Korder. With early champions including John Kennedy (Radio X), Huw Stephens, and Steve Lamacq, the band’s reputation is already blossoming. Their performances at SXSW (Austin and London), Glastonbury, and The Great Escape this year only reinforced what their recordings suggest: this is a band fully in command of their vision. They are also managed by Kelly Munro one of the best to do it.
If “What Have You Done” introduced Korda Korder as an irresistible new presence, “You Still Turn Me Inside Out” confirms them as something more — a defining voice in the new wave of British dream pop. It’s beautiful, melancholic, and strangely uplifting, reminding us that even in heartbreak, there’s light to be found.
With their forthcoming EP on the horizon, Korda Korder stand poised to become one of the UK’s most essential new acts. For now, “You Still Turn Me Inside Out” is proof enough that they’re already there.
