Strange Pilgrim Release Embers

Nearly a full three years ago, Strange Pilgrim dropped their debut self-titled LP, but, like all things, a little bit of time gives you perspective, so they went back and revisited some of these tunes, releasing them on a new EP titled Embers. I’ve really taken to the number below, which was the opening tune on their debut; they go full on into the foggy pop that reminded me of the Clientele. A carefully buzzing keyboard and some beach-like instrumentation only makes the song a bit deeper, leaving a lot of space for those vocals to really sink into your skin. And man, the line of “I should have said I loved/more than I did” just crushes me every time. Embers is available now via Royal Oakie.
