Essex-based dreampop/shoegaze band She’s In Parties have aired their new single “The Times“ and its accompanying music video.
The song features on their upcoming sophomore EP, Puppet Show, due to be released on October 25 via Submarine Cat. Pre-order it here.
Produced by Stephen Street (The Cranberries, The Smiths), the EP sees the band explore their love for 80s music with quirky synth riffs and experimental guitar sounds.
‘The Times’ is a pensive indie rock tune detailing lead vocalist Katie Dillon’s social media focused frustrations that come with being a musician in the 21st century. The have also announced a UK tour taking place this November. See the dates below.
Speaking about the single, vocalist Katie says:
“This song is about my internal battle with this new era of social media we live in. The lyrics “rewrite your mind” pretty much just mean that I need to rethink what I thought being a musician was like, and get with “the times”. If I don’t do it, somebody else will. One voice tells me they can “take it all away” if we don’t use social media to try and make it as a band. Another voice tells me to “rewrite” my mind, so maybe it’s not so bad to use this new tool of promotion.”
