Like the scene in a movie where the lead is biking home in the rain after getting their heart broken, “stray” has a way of finding the middle point between a gut punch and a sigh of relief. This latest release marks the fifth single from superstar, featuring fellow Athens, GA indie rockers Florence Cardigan. The collaboration creates a lush soundscape defined by ethereal harmonies, momentous rhythm, and a natural balance between simplicity and complexity that bridges the gap between raw skill and melodic palatability.
The impact of “stray” extends well beyond its auditory elements. The artists are utilizing this release as a genuine call to action. Having spent significant time volunteering with animals in need at the Athens Area Humane Society, the bands are leveraging their platform to encourage fans to rally for their local community of animals in need.
Beyond the music, superstar is preparing to hit the road for their “It’s a dog-eat-dog world tour.” The run of shows, which includes select southern US cities and Philadelphia, kicks off on August 15th. Fans looking to support the cause or catch the bands live can find more information via their official social media channels.
