Smoke Season release their newest single "You" today, which premiered on Nylon earlier this week. The pulsating, heartbreak song is totally out of the norm from a typical love song, which the tastemaker magazine said was "so exciting," continuing, "in many hands, this would be an invitation for cliché, but not for Smoke Season."
According to singer Gabby Bianco, "'You' is about relationship decay. It was inspired by the moment at the end of a love where you have completely lost sight of the person you fell for and have replaced them with pain and heartbreak. It's about letting go of someone who has already let go of you ('If you're holding the doorknob tighter than me, I'm already without you.'). We wanted it to be so raw you could almost taste the heartbreak." The track was produced by Bianco and Andrew Furze, mixed by Todd Bergman, and mastered by Gentry Studer.
"You" follows the single "Up On Me," which debuted on Consequence of Sound's 'Origins' earlier this Spring and was later remixed by Los Angeles producer/DJ Lena Brown, aka Tuff Ghost.
