We can always count on St. Lucia for some funky, feel-good vibes set to an underlying message of themes ranging from heartbreak, newfound love, and the trials of growing up. New track, “Walking Away,” is unlike anything we’ve ever heard from the New York band with a classic feel once made prominent by their predecessors of music’s past.
Taken from the band’s forthcoming third record, Hyperion, out on September 21, “Walking Away” is just what we were craving this summer. Blast this one at your next backyard bash and you can’t go wrong.
“‘Walking Away’ has been in the works for a really long time. I wrote it with Nicky [Paul] and Ross [Clark] from the band before we even started recording our last album, Matter, and we actually played it a handful of times on our last tour almost 3 years ago,” shared frontman Jean-Philip Grobler. “The song came together super quickly and what you hear in this final version is about 60% the original demo– we just had to replace the Daft Punk loop we wrote on top of with something else, so that took about 4 years. And here it is, our funky beast.”
