Single of the Week: “(So Far From) Silverlake” by The Loyal Seas

The Loyal Seas’ debut record, Strange Mornings In The Garden, was one of our most anticipated releases of 2022 LONG before a single note of this project was released. For those who missed our interview with them last year, this is rock n roll legend Tanya Donelly (Belly, Throwing Muses, The Breeders) and underground hero Brian Sullivan (Dylan In The Movies), who happened to be best friends. This song is a warm hug of a ditty about, well, that very same friendship and what it means when you live on opposite ends of the country.(At least, that’s my interpretation as the listener) It’s insanely relatable since we are in year 23 of this pandemic and I haven’t seen friends that live across town since March 2020. In short, I don’t know if you needed to hear this song today, but I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THIS SONG TODAY. So, thank you Tanya & Brian. 

You can track down this track today at your favorite DSP. And if you enjoy the thrill of getting a package in the mail, then unwrapping it and throwing it on your turntable/cassette deck/CD Player (do people still have CD players?), you can preorder the full album here, and it will be in your hands around May 20th!
