Steph Green - "Take a Walk"

We absolutely loved Steph Green's single "Next Place" and her album Thanks for That, so we're thrilled to get new music from her. Her latest single, "Take a Walk," is this odd but perfect mix of garage rock and country. It has that ramblin' country/folk feel, but in a garage rock song. It's a song led by lap steel and Green's vocals. In the press release, it's described as "... a song suitable for literally taking a walk to," and that somehow fits this one perfectly. It's the perfect song for just taking a walk just for the sake of taking a walk. You're not going anywhere, and you're not trying to get your steps in for the day. You're just going to "Take a Walk."

You can listen to "Take a Walk" below. Lore is out October 20 on Mashed Potato Records. For more on Steph Green, check out the artist's website.

Steph Green came to our attention since she played steel guitar on Pony Hunt's "That Feelin'" earlier this year. We love that song (and Pony Hunt's album), so of course we're going to check out Steph Green's solo work! "Next Place" has some similarities to Pony Hunt. They both have a little bit of a crooner meets modern indie vibe to them, but while Pony Hunt goes a little more on the folk side, Green goes more 90's indie rock. Green's vocal delivery on "Next Place" has this wonderfully odd mixture of doo wop meets slacker. Musically the song has crunching slacker guitars that are just slightly off kilter. The whole thing feels like a band like Pavement being fronted by Julia Jacklin or Molly Burch.
