Curiosity Shop share new song, "About A House"
Edinburgh-based alt-folk band Curiosity Shop have released "About A House", the latest single from their upcoming debut EP, Bound For The Sky.
"About A House" follows previous singles "Crows" and "Wandering Arrow", arriving as a nostalgic reflection on how places shape who we are.
Speaking about the track, songwriter Ruairidh Wallace says, “I’ve lived in and spent a lot of time in different homes, and I have collected lyrics and writings about each place. ‘About a House’ is a distilling of these thoughts and experiences, all workshopped into a tune. The guitar part and leading melody came a long while before the lyrics, as the tune itself was on the back burner for quite a while. I eventually went back to it having gathered a good few ideas. It became a bittersweet collage of places I’ll never visit again, where my head was and what the walls saw at different points in my life.”
Bound For The Sky is released on 25 September via Fontana Records
