Back in 2016 Edinburgh band Stillhound released their impressive debut album Bury Everything which was a kaleidoscope of sparkling pop, atmospheric indie and even some moody 4×4 dance-driven cuts. The group went on to release tracks like ‘Before We Shut Our Eyes’. Making their return, Stillhound deliver their latest single ‘Strangers Will Not Thank You’. Sonically they delve deeper into serene indie soundscapes demonstrating a maturity of the band, pumping out one gorgeous single. ‘Strangers Will Not Thank You’ is taken from their forthcoming self-titled LP, out March 1st, 2019.

Touching on the track Stillhound’s Fergus Cook stated:

“The song came together quickly on a pretty unforgettable week on the West coast of Scotland. We were blessed with one of the greatest patches of Spring weather I’ve ever experienced in Scotland. Travelling around the Ardnamurchan peninsula we got to dip our feet in translucent blue waters and dry off on white sand beaches, it was as happy as I could remember being in a long time. I had been in the habit of tuning my guitar to anything but standard in a bid to avoid writing to overly familiar chord structures and on return from a break to sun ourselves, I started playing and it became one of those rare moments in recording where all the parts come so quickly and effortlessly. Often patching songs together from little mantras I’ve scribbled down in the months prior, I began connecting some of these loose questions and feelings. The lyrics I scrambled together reflect my thoughts on searching for validation outwith the circle of people you know and trust”
