Athens, GA-based THAYER SARRANO has released the second track off of Wings Alleluia which is set for release on March 29, 2019 via The Guildwater Group. The second single "The Eternal" is available today and can be found HERE.
Written in the aftermath of a close friend's passing " The Eternal" dives right into a steady backbeat groove while her vocals soar above in almost a trance like meditation. Thayer explains that the track is about "how we are all eternal beings, so we don't die." She proceeds to say, "It was healing to me to think about time not being linear and the idea that music, you know is this transcendent thing beyond the body that makes it. We are made of light and our work stays in the light because it is of it even when our body goes out. Singing to those gone to soon, but the song is about life." It's yet another track that shows that the album exists on an almost mystical level, a mindset of which she subscribes to.
The follow-up to 2015's Shaky, Wings Alleluia displays the layered tapestry she musically weaves that Huffington Post called "a Southern-psych dreamland, bottling up ghosts and bringing them to life through her ethereal hymns."
