Atlanta’s Gringo Star will return with new album On and On and Gone on June 2nd, via My Anxious Mouth.
Ahead of its release comes the retro-fitted lead single, “Told Me Once Before.” From the soulful vocals, doo-wop like delivery and warm inclusion of retro-fitted strings, it’s a track that feels like its from a completely different era, in the best way possible.
On the song the band’s Peter Furgiuele says:
‘Told Me Once Before’ represents one of the most minimalistic approaches to recording a song we’ve ever done. Most of the instruments were recorded live through a handful of mics. We tried to capture most of the song in the room live as a band on our ‘70s Neumann u87 microphone and later had our great friend Dave Claassen come in and add the string parts. It was a song I wrote during Covid isolation and Nick and I got together soon after and finished off the loose ends.
You can find “Told Me Once Before” available to stream now below.
