The latest single is called Cheap Tequila Sunrise. They explain that “it’s a reflection on what it was like to be a kid before life got too complicated. So escaping the daily grind and dreaming of a better place.”
The video is important to sharing the message of the song too. “We wanted to create a dreamy ‘day-in-a-life’ paradise, which captures finding joy in life’s simple moments, while hinting at a deeper longing for something more pure and untouched, like the innocence of youth.”
Cheap Tequila Sunrise is the fourth single teasing the new album, Scatterbrains. Tastes Like Forever, Sunday Stitches, and Happy Slides have totalled a million Spotify streams.
The band’s new album, Scatterbrains, is out on February 21, 2025.
