Remember that Texan band with fabulous hair and great tunes? Course you do. We’re happy to say that these hair-pop heroes Saint Blonde have returned with new single ‘Americana’. It’s a bouncing bop that cheekily pokes holes in today’s image obsessed society veiled with sing-a-long patriotism. As the band generously detail: ’Americana’ is a song about how we all want to be seen, and how that contrasts with who we really are. Because we can tailor every detail of how others see our lives, we all only show the best bits of them and compare them to the snapshots of other people’s curated version of life. Americana is about how society as a whole seems to place more emphasis on the "what" "when" and "where" of peoples lives, and less about the "who". Everything is fake and painted over with a nice fine glossy filter.” The video is set in the most American of stapes, a diner, to showcase Saint Blonde’s energetic performance for this breezy indie-pop single. - Hannah Thacker
