Melbourne hard rock outfit Stonetrip are back with their brand-new single ‘Postcards’, out now via Golden Robot Records.
The band comments: “Postcards” is a heartfelt reflection on love and distance – a story rooted in a time before mobile phones and social media, when couples relied on handwritten postcards to bridge the gap. The song captures the raw emotion of long-distance relationships and the heartbreak of breakups carried out across miles. Without face-to-face connection or eye contact, all that’s left is brutal honesty from afar, the words that sometimes get lost along the way. The making of the song included the whole band. We all went into the studio as a band to create our parts. Ricki Rae (producer) who knows our signature sound is a great influence in how the song ends up sounding. The video was made with the help of two great actors up in the hills of Olinda, Melbourne, Australia. It was the first time we storyboard the video clip. We usually just wing it. It tells the song perfectly.”
