Brighton’s The Stanford Family Band have recently inked a deal with Krautpop! Records. Along with the announcement, the group have also unveiled their latest single ‘When Lonesome’.

Delivering their warm brand of sunshine pop, ‘When Lonesome’ is a breezy and melody-rich release that brings a Beach Boys meets Queen nostalgia to the forefront. The perfect soundtrack to a summer’s day, ‘When Lonesome’ is bursting with utter vibrancy.

Touching on the single, Laurence Underwood of The Stanford Family Band mentioned:

“I think at the time I was listening to a lot of Tommy James and the Shondells, also a lot of Carpenters, and I thought the piano break in the verses was a pretty Carpenters thing to do. I then realised that the start sounded like ‘You’re My Best Friend’ by Queen which made me laugh. A boy could only dream of those pipes.”
