The track is an encouraging debut from the exciting new upstart band.
Glasgow outfit New Town have begun to establish their idiosyncratic and truly distinctive brand of upbeat indie pop with the release of their stellar debut single ‘Sail Away’.
The track has an air of optimism about it, with its spacious, atmospheric sound giving it a revitalising feel, full of heart and life, making for a rousing listening experience that immediately establishes the innate charm of the outfit. ‘Sail Away’ ripples with a real sense of drive and energy, almost infectious in its anthemic and cathartic nature, especially throughout its huge chorus. The track has a real feel-good appeal, and the personality and charisma that shines through on the debut release hints that the outfit could be set for an exciting journey ahead.
“This song is about what everybody else thinks of your relationship. It’s about knowing some things are bad for you but you keep going back despite what others might think” explains vocalist David James. “It’s the acceptance that you know it’s not good for your mental health but love triumphs over all other feelings. It’s about seeing all the good and blocking out the bad.”
