Song People are back, and they're living up to the name. The Philly crew have shared "The Cone," the second single from their new album Tho I Seem Tame, and it's a gem. If you caught lead single "Silver Flag," you already know the shape of things here: jangle-pop, dream-pop, post-punk, and folk all folded into one.
But "The Cone" pushes further. Imagine a world where Fairport Convention rolled with the C86 crowd, all chiming guitars and hushed harmonies over restless rhythm. That's the sound. It's a track that feels warm and slightly haunted at once, a belter that rewards close listening.
This band have always chased that blend, and Tho I Seem Tame looks set to be their fullest statement yet. The jangle stays bright. The folk keeps the whole thing grounded.
Song People know exactly what they are, and "The Cone" is proof they keep getting better at it. Cue this one up and let it work its magic.
