Glasgow indie rock/pop duo PAWS have aired their new single “Uncertain” and its accompanying video.
The track is taken from their upcoming self-titled album, PAWS due to be released on October 27 via Ernest Jenning Record Co. + Wish Fulfillment Press. Pre-order your copy here.
PAWS is a succinct, razor wire encased documentary chronicling the pains of modern living. Delving into the dark underbelly of 90s alternative rock, painting with evocative instrumentals and revelling in celebratory indie punk, the band also embrace sordid pop and ambient electronics. And while it pays homage to where they have come from, it also signals a clean slate for the pair.
On “Uncertain” the band’s Phillip Jon Taylor says:
“It’s a song about Uncertainty! In one’s self, one’s abilities, one’s mood, one’s health, one’s whatever else. It’s also about feeling ashamed and guilty for over sharing, extroverting and alienating yourself.
The week that Josh and I were simultaneously writing and tracking at the house, we were just changing guitars and sounds for whatever riff it suited. This one was the third track we did and came from picking up my battered Jaguar that I haven’t used in a minute.
I love the dynamics in this one. It’s kinda moody/broody and then has a Teenage Fanclub-esque (I wish) chorus. The guitar solo, which I rarely indulge, is kinda cool on this one though, and one of my favourite moments on the record for sure.”
