London alt-pop artist Sam Frankl, aka Be No Rain, drops his new single 'Call Back', along with an accompanying animated video.
Taken from debut album 'Strawberry Backstory', also released today, September 18 via One Two Many Records, the track fuses spiralling synth lines along with vibrant guitars and an 80s tinged rhythm section.
"'Call Back' is a song about longing, set within a cycle of eternal recurrence," explains Frankl. "The title is a simple pun: a returned phone call or an action that harkens back to a previous moment. Throughout my debut album, the protagonist senses himself trapped within an endless cycle of heartbreak. So this is perhaps where the cycle begins anew; with the aching hope of new love, and the eerie sense that you've lived this moment before.
"The video picks up the story from the 'Deadweight' and 'All Night Right' videos. The last time we saw these characters our protagonist had just been jilted at prom. Rather than face the pain of rejection, he conjures a world where good and evil are binary and opposing forces. It's a sort of plaintive, saviour-fantasy where the smirking prom king, and his friends are transmorphed into an evil robot cabal."
