The Orange Peels Share “Running Away” Track Via Brooklyn Vegan
Brooklyn Vegan has shared the new single from The Orange Peels entitled “Running Away”. It will be featured on their forthcoming LP ‘Trespassing’ out 4/27 on Minty Fresh. When talking about the track lead singer Allen Clapp says: “It’s about lost weekends in mountain towns, hiding from reality, trying to lose yourself – even though you know it’s not working. We recorded the drums for this song in the Redwoods, and you can actually HEAR it on the record, which is something we’re really proud of. Immaculate jangle meets harmonic bliss. Every once in a while, someone says I sound like Lindsey Buckingham in my vocal tone and delivery, and it’s probably gonna happen on this song too. Maybe it’s because we both grew up within 20 minutes of each other on the San Francisco Peninsula – a spit of land between the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay that now hosts Google, Apple, Facebook, and the entire Silicon Valley. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what California sounds like.”
Haley Heynderickx Shares “Worth It”
Haley Heynderickx shares the last single from her debut album, I Need to Start a Garden, today with “Worth It” undulating from soft-hums into moments of crashing catharsis all led by Heynderickx’s arresting voice and distinctive songstructure. Speaking to the track Heynderickx says she was “living in a house with six women at the time and attempting to pursue music as more than a bedroom act. In this, I was struggling to find confidence and purpose in it. Writing “Worth it” was a cathartic release at the time, just allowing myself to take up space and make as much noise as I could in our basement without driving my roommates too crazy. After several weeks, this song got carved out. It has been through a lot and it means something new to me each time I hear it. (Unfortunately, not a Missy Elliot cover.)”
