I woke up one morning in September to my boyfriend getting a call from the founders of Rough Trade Records (who are responsible for some of my all time favorite artist debuts including The Sundays and The Strokes). They were responding to a cold email he sent the day prior, a total shot in the dark. Long story short, he paced around my apartment on the call with London all morning while I got ready for class and 9 months later his band just released their debut single with Rough Trade! I‘m recommending because of the serendipity of it all, because it’s such a perfect little once-in-a-lifetime-chance stars-aligning real crowd-pleaser of a story, because a lot of good things have come into our lives since we started dating (I think that’s a good sign), and because it’s a genuinely good song I think everyone should listen to!!
