FOR FANS OF: Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, The Kooks
Portsmouth based unsigned indie rockers The Pretty Visitors are back with their third single, "Western Skies." Taking their band name from an Arctic Monkeys song, the influence and admirmation for indie rock legends is clear. "Western Skies" is a creative fusion of the current indie rock scene in the UK, mixed with hints of rap and hip-hop.
Recorded at the legendary EastCote Studios, London (known for Yungblud, Skepta, Mark Ronson, The Snuts, Rita Ora), the track's lyrics are quite refreshing due to the self-awareness of them (often in a comical manner). Lyricist Connor Reid writes with a dry wit, and the storyline has a dark and relatable cleverness to it; "I'm 27 , mate, and living in the third bedroom of my parents' estate for a non-existent rate."
With the Covid-19 pandemic halting their touring and festival plans, The Pretty Visitors aren’t one to let moss grow under their collective feet. Instead, they’ve focused their time and energy into new tracks, like the stadium ready "Western Skies."
Keep your eyes on The Pretty Visitors. They are here for the long haul.
