Out by November 11 via the US label Play Me Records is the newest single from the female fronted dream/synth pop band The Walking Sticks. “The News” is the trio’s first release with Play Me Records. You’ll recognise a lot of EDM elements in their work next to electropop and trip hop.

The Walking Sticks, originally founded by twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst, became a fully formed dream/synth pop outfit with the addition of long-time friend and collaborator Chelsea Lee in 2013.

“The News” was written by the trio, produced by the Ernst brothers, and mixed and mastered by Joe Benny (Secret Panda Society). You can stream “The News” by The Walking Sticks right below!

Why we ask

Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
