Charlottesville trio Stray Fossa has been churning out great songs consistently and they’ve just released one of their best tracks to date with new single “For What Was.”
The track floats along a chill summer feeling and groove effortlessly, with dazzling instrumentation that finds a perfect balance between electronic elements and live rock instrumentation – sort of reminded of acts like Toro y Moi.
The band describes the making of “For What Was” as “a burst of creative energy that all came out at once.” They explain further below:
Will came up with the lyrics and melody for the chorus “something I could be the first to know…” etc. in one breath. “Normally, we wouldn’t hold onto scratch lyrics, but it’s hard to shy away from rare moments like that when it all kind of comes together at once.” In the verse transitions you can hear the sound of bicycle spokes that were recorded with a phone.
Enjoy a listen to the track below.
