Scottish indie-pop group Trashcan Sinatras have revealed a new single set to come out later this month, but one thing it won’t be doing is “dropping.” “Best Days On Earth,” the first single from their upcoming LP, apparently titled Wild Pendulum, is set for release October 21.
And you can save all that nonsense about the drop.
“By the way,” the band writes. “What the song will NOT be doing on October 21st is ‘dropping’, as in the modern biz parlance of ‘The new single drops on October 21’. We don’t use the word ‘drop’ around here unless we’re talking about rain, sweeties or The Cocteau Twins.”
The note was attached to a message earlier this week directed to contributors of their Pledge campaign, which has soared to a completion rate of 133 percent. Read the band’s full message below, and get ready for the release… unveiling… issuing… birthing… of new track “Best Days On Earth” in a short 12 days from now.
ACCESSPASS UPDATE 07 OCTOBER, 2015
“Out of the darkness came the light…”Calling Occupants,
As Paul said in the previous update, the song we’ve chosen as the first single from the new album is called BEST DAYS ON EARTH, and I’m here to inform you all that the opening strains have just entered our atmosphere and that, to the delight of seismic devices everywhere, the song will splashdown two weeks from today, on Wednesday, October 21, 2015. Hopefully to float in your heart forever.
I bet you already know that happens to be the exact same date forward to which Marty McFly transported himself in Back To The Future 2. Less Tweetably, it’s also my 50th birthday. It must be density.
By the way, What the song will NOT be doing on October 21st is ‘dropping’, as in the modern biz parlance of “The new single drops on October 21”. We don’t use the word ‘drop’ around here unless we’re talking about rain, sweeties or The Cocteau Twins.
Produced by Mike Mogis, BEST DAYS ON EARTH is itself a twinkling pearly dewdrop of a song. Deep in its iridescent melody, diamond days are distilled. Memories folded away and half-forgotten are delicately unfolded once more, like some kind of origasmic origami, brightening the present with the past. But as the song goes on to warn us: be careful of nostalgia, one can get lost in its lustre. Always remember: the transmission’s live!
I also want to tell you that orbiting above in an ever-decreasing ellipse, is the song’s mothership, the album we promised you. Switches are being flicked, Rogers are being Rogered(!), Overs are being Outed and like all mighty things, once it starts to fall it can only keep on falling. So keep your eyes on the New Year skies for falling (not dropping) stars of shiny, new TCS magic, and hold out your arms for us.
WILD PENDULUM is nigh. Not right nigh, but very soon.
Love,
FrankThe Trashcan Sinatras
