The Districts - If Before I Wake

The Districts - If Before I Wake

I've always had a special place in my heart for The Districts - a sleeper type of band who suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, blew my mind when I saw them live at the Independent back in 2015. Today the band shared their latest single, "If Before I Wake" off of their hotly anticipated sophomore album and I am here. for. it.  Popular Manipulations will be released August 11th via Fat Possum records and of the new track Rob Grote from the band says:

 "The lyrics were written the morning after actually waking up during a storm that felt like it was right over my room. It was refreshing to work on as a band because we had been talking about ideas of restraint and contrast, removing chord changes and toying with droning notes, and this one felt like we synthesized some of those ideas more by second nature as we had been exploring those ideas for a while at this point."

Works for me. Check out the track below and make sure you don't miss the band on their upcoming tour (dates below too!!)
