Second Still are crossing a perfect middle ground between goth rock and post-punk on their brooding new single, "Strangers". Inspired by a dangerous relationship that mixes pain with pleasure, "Strangers" oozes with a dark and seductive soundscape that’s enhanced by Suki San’s gravelly tone. Its patiently hypnotic guitars and murky drum machine sounds are a lovely homage to a time that continues to resonate today.
"Strangers" is taken off the the trio’s self-titled debut, which is out on April 7 via Manic Depression Records. The band are also scheduled to perform on April 16 at The Echo.
