Remo Drive seems to pull the band aid off gently, but it still stings. Their newest single/video “New In Town” is another example of that biting lyricism.
“New in Town” is a song about the loneliness of moving to a new city, being the only stranger in a room full of old friends, and misconstruing bar names for human names,” Erik explains. “This song came to be after an especially homesick night, but really took its shape throughout the recording process. It's our quietest song yet, and one of our most adventurous productions
