Anoraak’s been playing all winter, readying his debut LP in Nantes, France. Drinking red wine and writing dreamy lines. That’s his style. It’s almost ready and I couldn’t be more satisfied with this first track. The album should drop in August.
“This song is actually one of the last I composed for the album, and it was made on a 2 hour flight from Spain to France – except the vocal. Really often when you have an original song on your mind, it’s already composed, arranged, and mixed. It sounds exactly as you would like. But most of the time, when you get the opportunity to record it, or write it down, it’s already gone. “Above Your Head” is the first song in my whole life I had in mind the track exactly as you can hear it now. It’s big victory over myself! The lyrics are all about these moments you spend far from the one you love, especially when you’re up in the air because you sometimes consider this can be your last moments, and you just think about what you’re missing the most.” -Anoraak
