OWEL have premiered the song “Too Young To Fall In Love.” The song is off the band’s upcoming record, dear me, out November 11th via Equal Vision Records. The new album was co-produced by Sakong and Gates’ vocalist Kevin Dye. All physical pre-orders come with an instant MP3 download of “Too Young to Fall in Love”, as well as the band’s previously released singles “Paper Hands” and “Pale Soft Light”.
“This song was a big step for us toward unfamiliar territory, so it was pretty exciting and fun to work on,” reveals vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jay Sakong. “Although we’re no stranger to electronic elements in our songs, we usually keep them tucked somewhat in the background. I’ve always dug electronic bands like Moby, Washed Out, or Massive Attack because they’re always so good at creating a feeling or groove. That was really the goal for this – not to be technically impressive but to just create a groove. I spent some time in a beautiful little island in Thailand a couple years back. I remember thinking, “My God, this place is paradise. Why am I not living here?” But of course, I couldn’t live there…not yet. Much like many other things in my life, I don’t think I’m quite ready to find that perfect thing just yet. I think I need to struggle a little longer.”
