With their forthcoming album ‘Call Back Your Name’ out December 6th, Straylings follow-up their previous single ‘American Kid’ with a new track titled ‘How Long’.
Keeping in step with their desert psych folk sound, ‘How Long’ blossoms with a 60s nostalgia, powered by intensely moody chord structures and almost haunting melodies. While there is a sense of unrest that the song commands, the pair still manage to inject a dose of sun soak lines into the instrumentation fostering etches of light. ‘How Long’ is another great look into the window of the upcoming LP.
Regarding the track, Straylings mentioned:
“Whilst the song has some darker themes of disconnection and power struggles, there’s a sort of feel good element to the drums and bass we wanted to bring out, that contrasts with that. So the song had somewhat of a colourful journey, and ended up being one of the last on the album to be completed.”
