The Birmingham-based quartet Chartreuse have their second album on the horizon this autumn. ‘Keep Checking Up One Me’ will be out on October 9 via Communion Records, and is preceded by this beautiful, introspective track, ‘Tall Grass’.
"I might take a stroll down to the ocean/feel the water at my feet and the wind at my face/I see stick figures in the distance/will they find me interesting will they show me pity/Will they think I'm mad mad mad..." sings vocalist Michael Wagstaff on the melancholy, plaintive song, which he explains is "about looking both out and in. It explains the world I was in when I wrote it.
"Sitting in a landscape of introvertism, reflection and coming out of myself to be apart of the world, really feeling the anxieties and complexities that come along with it. I imagined someone I love was there being the horizon for me to focus on while I balanced and tried to explain myself.”
