Queen Of Duality

Existing, slowly, body’s tryna kill me,
Draining me of my blood and sanity,
What do I do now? 
How do I get out?
This town makes me feel like scratching my own eyeballs out.

I cover my walls with post it notes,
Reminding me to take a walk,
And not loose my fucking mind,
This happens all the time,
Make yourself a brew I’m sure its gonna turn out fine.

But no-one can tell me that I didn’t try,
I’ve been working real hard from the inside.

Don’t really know what you’re running from baby,
You got the world in your hands,
That’s what they say when I sing them a song,
And can I be in your band?

Give me a war of pain or of pleasure,
But I also need peace,
What kind of lady will I be today?
I’m the queen of duality.

Mmmmm…

Ohhhh…

My mother says don’t you cry,
I’ve been working like a dog for you.
There’s a strange look in her eyes,
I’ve been working like a dog for you.

Mmmm,
I’ve been working like a dog for you.

Mmmm,
I’ve been working like a dog for you.

Ahhhh…

Speaking In Code

A creative departure from the bands signature sound, Only Feel It When I’m With You builds upon the new textures and sounds recently delivered with the surprise drop of Midnight and Under The Surface.

With a slower tempo and mesmerizing melody, the single features the hypnotic vocals of The Jezabels singer Hayley Mary who adds her uniquely melancholic voice to one of the most daringly beautiful tracks Baby Strange have released to date.

Speaking on the collaboration, Hayley says: “I met the Baby Strange lads at the Priory in Glasgow. Loved their vibe and and we hit it off straight away. There’s a great little rock scene bubbling in that city that I’ve missed while I’ve not been able to get there, so I’m incredibly stoked to be part of this track and stay connected with them in a musical way. It’s a killer and I look forward to coming and playing it live with them sometime in the near future. 

Adding to this, Johnny Madden says:  “This is one of the most exciting singles we’ve ever released as a band. Writing it took us completely out of our comfort zone and pushed us into a new territory as writers and players. 
We’ve never had a featured vocalist on a track before, but knew right away that it had to be Hayley. The song just lends itself perfectly to her vocal style.
We’ve known Hayley for a long time so being able to work together on this was so exciting”

The artwork and visuals connected to the single follow on the series of recent releases, exploring an alternative world that offers an insight into the bitter promises of late stage capitalism. Brought to life by Glasgow based Visual Animator ‘Bovine’ the artwork itself has become a talking point for fans and media who eagerly await the next instalment.

The wait is over.

Life gets complicated when you're trying to juggle careers, responsibilities and relationships. That's a key takeaway from Madeline Finn's unflinching, Americana-influenced "Asleep in the Driveway," a song whose easygoing tempo masks turbulent lyrics about the disconnect between expectations and reality: "Now, I know I made a promise/Baby, let's be honest/You're still waking up alone." That scenario understandably causes more questions than resolutions ("Is this what you asked me for?/Is that what you wanted?") along with no shortage of self-doubt and intense soul-searching. 

"This song came from a phone call with my wife (then fiancée) about being overwhelmed with emotion surrounding budgets and finances while I was on the road touring," Finn says. "This sparked a reflection into the things that make us feel like subpar partners. 'Asleep in the Driveway' is a look into the insidious transactional element that creeps into so many of our relationships."
