If your brain is fried from a brutal stretch of work, Maudlin Strangers has delivered the perfect sonic reset button. Their single ‘Spaghetti Western’ is a brilliant breath of fresh air that practically begs you to lean back, let go, and allow the music to wash over you. It’s a beautifully unhurried slice of alternative pop-rock, driven by a softly swaying rhythm and velvety vocals that gently carry you through a mesmerizing musical journey.
The track effortlessly showcases the refined vision of Los Angeles native Jake Hays, who first launched Maudlin Strangers as a solo indie project back in 2010. After making waves independently and expanding into a full band made up of close friends, the project caught the attention of BMG/Vagrant Records. That partnership led to their acclaimed 2015 label-debut ‘Overdose’ EP and a major North American tour alongside Bad Suns.
With ‘Spaghetti Western’, Hays and company prove they’ve mastered the art of the slow burn. It’s the kind of atmospheric, genre-blurring track that feels custom-made for the misfits who find comfort in the cinematic shadows of alt-rock. Stream it, unwind, and let it ride.
