The single is the third from upcoming EP More Heart than Sense.
On new Gold Spectacles single ‘Anywhere Else’, the track’s fun instrumental immediately establishes the fun appeal of the duos sound and the quirky sense of charm and personality that has made them such a lauded outfit in the UK indie pop scene.
The track is the third single to emerge from their upcoming EP More Heart than Sense, and highlights their fun combination of indelible synths, thoughtful lyrics, and the irresistibly catchy, playful nature that lends itself to an instantly danceable appeal. Gold Spectacles have really come into their own over the last few years, crafting an instantly recognisable sound that is packed with a litany of fun moments, and capable of conjuring emotions from all across the spectrum, and this is just the most recent addition to their ever-growing arsenal.
“We wrote ‘Anywhere Else’ on a trip to Barcelona, our first time abroad since the pandemic, because we didn’t want to go home.” The duo say of the track. “We borrowed a guitar and recorded all the parts on our phones with a rough sketch of the vocal line. Over the following days, we pieced together the lyrics in tapas bars and on the metro. The desire to leave everything mundane behind was overwhelming and the thought of running away never looked so good. As soon as we got back to London, we went straight to the studio to finish it. We ended up keeping some of the Spanish guitar we recorded on the voice memos so we don’t forget the tapas and Cava anytime soon.”
