Those of us stuck in frigid New England in the early days of January are often bitten by wanderlust, and this year the seemingly never-ending pandemic has given us new reasons to gaze longingly out the window in dreams of just being elsewhere. That mood consumes us today (January 6) with the release of “San Francisco,” the latest from New York City alt-pop duo Beau that serves as not only a hypnotic reminder of destinations awaiting us, but also serves as perhaps the first truly great track of 2022, doused in vibes that elicit Ultraviolence-era Lana Del Rey and a dystopia-lounge Mazzy Star.
“‘San Francisco’ was created after a road-trip across America when we were 20,” declare the duo of Heather Goldin and Emma Jenney. “The lyrics are purposefully poetic and tell a story of young love and the open road, with a few dream references. The recording is organic and raw, having some style similarities to the first record, all thanks to producer Nico Vernhes.”
Released by Range Media in partnership with Virgin Music Label & Artist Services, the track is also the third release from Beau’s forthcoming Forever EP, set for February 11 release. They’ll play The Knitting Factory in NYC the following night. We cannot wait to hear more.
