Phoebe Bridgers' new favorite musician Gold Star returns to preview his new EP with the slow-burning 'Surrender.'
, the Los Angeles-based musical project of singer-songwriter Marlon Rabenreither, has revealed the new single “Surrender,” off his upcoming EPThe video, directed by Cameron McCool, features Rabenreither performing the gut-wrenching track — which was inspired by Denis Johnson’s short stories. “I spent 20 hours in a hotel room in Memphis, dreaming about how it was when we were kids,” he sings.
“Gold Star had been floating in my periphery for a while before I actually went to one of their shows,”. “People had told me to check them out, and I did the thing where I’d say that I’d ‘heard of them but hadn’t heard them.’ When I finally went and ‘heard them,’ I was mad at myself for the time I’d wasted. They are an insanely solid live band, simultaneously dynamic and comfortable. Marlon has the charisma of an old school rock front man and the soulful lyrics of a Seventies troubadour.
