Premiered earlier this week by Steve Lamacq on 6 Music, London-based Ghum return with a new single, 'California'.
Out now via Everything Sucks Music, it is sung partly in vocalist Laura Guerrero Lora’s native Spanish, who says of the song:
“When we first started writing it, jamming at rehearsals, California kept popping into my head and I started singing it as a chorus. I've never been there but I see it as a very idealistic place, somewhere to run away and start from zero. A hope for a good ending or a new beginning.
“The song talks about a love story that was condemned to end badly. The hope and love that both had at the beginning is represented by the idea of running away to California, which they planned, but never end up doing. California is just an idea that makes them remember the good times they had together and what their lives could have been like.”
They play an almost sold out headline show at London's Electrowerkz on January 30, and have also been announced as openers for 6 Music Festival in London on March 5.
