Happy Wednesday, comrades! We’ve got another cool new track to debut for you today. Today’s track comes to us all the way from the famous hills of the virtually-unpronounceable city of Worcester, Massachusetts, by way of a duo who go by the name Sunday Junkie. The duo – multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Tom Martin and drummer and percussionist Shawn Pelkey – are planning to put out their debut full-length later this year, and the brand-new track “Holy, Holy” gives us a taste of what’s to come.
Here’s what Martin had to say about the track:
“I had issues with drinking in the past, and the lyrics on ‘Holy, Holy’ pretty heavily revolve around using alcohol as a means of self-medicating and ignoring a larger, underlying issue. It can be pretty insidious when it seems to provide relief, but the toll it’s taking is more evident to those around you and they just hope you can eventually see it too. The line ‘Honey on our tongues / Sucking on the rind’ is more of a reference to having everything at your fingertips, not realizing it, and choosing to throw it away instead.”
Check out “Holy, Holy” below (and dig around at Sunday Junkie’s bandcamp page to check out their first two singles, “Vultures” and “Haunted Head” while you’re at it!
