big long sun sign to State51 and share new single, "My Stars Aligning"
Brighton eight-piece big long sun have announced their signing to State51 alongside the release of new single, "My Stars Aligning".
“My stars aligning is a song written for love lost and love regained. A timeless love song, in other words. One that resonates with both extremes. I was inspired by artists like ‘the flaming lips’, ‘pixies’, ‘ABBA’, and ‘Emmit Rhodes’. I wanted to fuse together a kind of folk anthemia with the cool, slick writing of the Pop greats. The track has a fun arrangement too, with weirder and more wonderful instruments like the accordian, fan organ, recorder, tin whistle, violin, and clarinet making appearances in the creases and folds of the music. This track,also marks the first time that I am bringing other big long sun members into the recording process. With over half the band featuring on backing vocals and added violin and guitar.”
"My Stars Aligning" is out now via State51 distribution.
