The sound of Still Corners has an ethereal majesty: jangling, reverberated distant guitars carving swathes in the cloudless skies and velvet soft vocals gliding across the endless horizon carrying yearning, melancholic melodies. Their new track ‘Far Rider’ is a cinematic experience – over seven minutes of frictionless gliding and soaring with crystalline guitars. It is quite mesmerising and immersive, full of atmosphere, ebbing and flowing across a vast sonic landscape.
Tessa Murray (vocals and keys) says of the track:
This song is about leaving, lost love and finding yourself somewhere on the journey, really it’s about redemption. I recently drove 6000 miles across the southwest to feel the sun on my face and think. We used the dreamlike nature of the song to capture the landscape and a hypnotic feel to conjure up the long and lonely travel days
It’s certainly the fitting soundtrack to an endless bucolic road trip:
