The Districts share new cut "Velour and Velcro"
The Districts are back with new single "Velour and Velcro", a third taster of their upcoming album You Know I’m Not Going Anywhere.
"Velour and Velcro" lands after previous singles "Cheap Regrets" and "Hey Jo".
Singer and guitarist Rob Grote says the new offering is "about the elusive nature of bliss and how even when you’ve caught it, you know it may be fleeting."
You Know I’m Not Going Anywhere will follow on from their 2017 LP Popular Manipulations.
Discussing their forthcoming record in more detail, Grote explains, "This album was written as an escape and as reassurance. I was falling in love with someone new and trying to juggle this desperate desire to escape with the need to show up in my life. It’s pretty damn hard to be present and completely checked out all at once. It felt like much of my world had reached such a pitch that all I could do was try to tune it out. I felt really uncertain about the future of the band and super detached from much of what I used to identify with, on a personal level and with our music. I was thinking, ‘Do I want to keep doing music?’ ‘Do I want to keep doing it in this context?’"
Grote adds, "Originally, I had no intention of them even being a record. It was strictly a process of trying to connect to something outside of and larger than myself - kind of this rocky imbalance of isolating myself while trying to maintain connections as time rushed on. There was a lot of back and forth between working as a group and not feeling capable of doing that. I ended up taking these recordings super far along, whereas normally I would almost compulsively share them with my bandmates as soon as I had an idea. This time I was sitting on them and putting work into them in a way that I hadn’t known I enjoyed doing."
