Brooklyn-based dream rock outfit Ok Cowgirl announce their debut EP and share "Across the Room" via FLOOD. An infectious and explosive indie rock number, "Across the Room" is the first single off of Not My First Rodeo, due out December 8th, and teases out the complexity of emotions induced by crossing paths with an ex.
One of the group’s more sonically dense tracks, the song takes listeners on an emotional and dynamic journey. Chugging along easily at first, the song quickly opens up into dreamy swaths of reverb-drenched lament only to effortlessly crescendo into a grittier sounding form of grief. This teetering between resistance and resignation is mapped onto a cyclical storyline.
“In my experience,” says songwriter and frontwoman Leah Lavigne, “heartbreak does not dissipate with time. Feelings never completely resolve; they may get quieter, but you never know when they’ll grow loud again.” Upbeat and harmonious “Across the Room” will have you bopping along one sunny afternoon, and stopped dead in your tracks another, paralyzed by lyrics all too relatable to anyone who has ever loved and lost. Lavigne’s potent vocals are an invitation into the echo chamber of the heart, where tenderness and bitterness bounce off of eachother in small and large waves; let it wash over you. |
