Park Days shares vivid debut single ‘Down And Out’
The new project, which features Sam Thrussell of Dutch Criminal Record fame, comes fresh off the back of the band’s recent appearance at this year’s SXSW.
Park Days’ sound is innovative and captures the true essence of what indie music is all about.
Coated with a desirable beat, pulsating bass and a shining synth, the indie-pop dream glides freely like a bird that’s just grown its wings.
Speaking about the track, Sam shares: “Down and Out was written in the August of 2020 at the time I was experimenting with a guitar tuning used by folk artist Nick Drake and so it started out as an acoustic song about processing loss – something experienced by many people especially that year.
When demoing I was too lazy to set up a mic so just plugged an electric guitar straight into my computer and as a result the song transformed into a full band arrangement to my mind evocative of something The Strokes might write.
I tried a number of times to record it myself but couldn’t get it right so went to Rob Quickenden at Ford Lane where we tracked it in a day. After getting the main song down we experimented with different ideas in the afternoon including adding organ and toy pianos channeling our inner Pet Sounds.
Overall Down and Out is for everyone trying to find peace and catharsis in circumstances outside of your control.”
The debut single is out tomorrow but you can enjoy it exclusively at the top of this page.
