Washington, DC (USA) based post-punk/darkwave outfit Social Station has announced their new maxi-single "Try (Cross My Heart)", a dark upbeat yet melancholic track that gets under your skin similar to how Siouxsie And The Banshees pulled that off with "Spellbound". Apart from the title track, this release features a solid collection of remixes by fellow DC and Baltimore artists, including Br'er of Blight Records, The Holy Circle, Red This Ever, and Tim Phillips. The single will be officially released on 29th June.
With a passion for analogue synths, hypnotic guitar, and undeniable melancholic vocals, the band originally started as a solo project in 2013 by singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist Paul Todd, debuting with the single "The Sun And The Air", followed by their With A Smile EP. Their debut album, Our Pleasure Of Solitude, was released in June 2016.
Paul Todd comments about the new song: "The song "Try" has been evolving for close to two years with its start as a slow and deep staccato guitar riff along the lines of early Chelsea Wolfe or PJ Harvey, and just the first verse. Moving the song to an arrangement for piano completed the verses but still did not have the Cross My Heart chorus and up-tempo pace. Still pretty gloomy." Listen now to "Try (Cross My Heart)" in the player below. A must for fans of The Cure, The Mission, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Joy Division, Phantasmagoria-era The Damned and The Chameleons. Link
