Second single alert. Austin’s Touch Girl Apple Blossom are out here channeling their inner Orange Juice and absolutely making it work. If New Zealand college jangle is your happy place then this newest track should be added to your most recent playlist!
The band is currently out on the road with the Good Flying Birds, and if this single is any preview of what’s coming, they’re going to be winning over rooms full of strangers every night.
Graceful, their debut LP, drops May 15th via K Records and Perennial Records. Ten tracks of bright, chiming guitars and hooks that’ll creep into your head somewhere between your second coffee and your third listen. The production feels lived-in rather than polished to death. No overworked studio sheen. No mood-board indie moping. Just tight songwriting and melodies that actually go somewhere.
This record has energy. Real, forward-moving, makes-you-wanna-tell-someone-about-it energy. Graceful feels like the kind of debut you remember.
