The track follows the release of recent single ‘MEDICAL BOOMERANG’
Starting out as a disgruntled joke song and then growing into a fully-formed and well-received track somewhere along the way, latest Letters From Suburbia single ‘POKER NIGHT’ was written when the the artist was annoyed about the titular event being cancelled, turning into something of a blessing in disguise due to the catchy and fun nature of the release that it spawned.
The track’s upbeat sensibilities and tongue-in-cheek nature makes for a alternative rock riot of a track, complete with rousing melodies and a infectious sense of dynamism and raucous charm that feels irresistible and carefree throughout. The track embodies the euphoria and good times that such events tend to supply, losing your money and potentially playing awfully, but none of it mattering in an alcohol induced haze and among friends, trading off these things for a chance to unwind and let off steam with people who you care about. This is the essence of the track and what makes it feel so endearing and engrossing, regardless of how frustrated the artist was when it came together.
“This was more of a joke song that ended up being so well received, it made the cut in the studio.” Letters From Suburbia says of the new single. “Last summer, my friends and neighbors bailed on a Poker Night I was looking forward to at the last minute. So instead of playing poker, I stayed up all night and wrote this song about how annoyed I was, name dropping everyone in the group and sending it all to them the next morning, much to their enjoyment and surprise. Thus, the legacy of the “Poker Night” that never happened, began…”
