Robert Ellis Orrall - "Where the Gone People Go"

Robert Ellis Orrall recently released his first new album in nearly forty years, and has a new video and single out with "Where the Gone People Go." This new song is pitch perfect 80's style power pop. It has that funky side that power pop only seemed to have forty years ago, along with some keyboards straight from that era. The song is reminiscent of artists like Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and ZZ Top from that era. It's a little blues, a little New Wave, and absolute power pop perfection. "Where the Gone People Go" has such a nostalgic streak to it that you'll swear it's a lost song from your childhood.

Robert Ellis Orrall says of his new single:

“Where do we go when we’re gone? How far gone is too far? Do dogs go where we go? What’s going on with my brain? I was sitting on my porch one moonlit night and my mind began to wander. I scribbled out whatever floated through my head in anticipation of my bandmates arriving to work on Wrong Thing. We thought it would be fun to hash out a new song and record it immediately.” 

You can watch the video for "Where the Gone People Go" below. Wrong Thing is out now on Infinity Cat, and is available for order here. For more on Robert Ellis Orrall, check out the artist's website.
