SONG PICK: Tourists - Another State

“Another State” by English indie-rock quintet Tourists, is a hazy, dreamy, and utterly beautiful song. It is taken from their debut album bearing the same title. The single comes also with a music video, that picks up the nostalgic vibe, about which the band says:

With the video, we wanted to give people a glimpse into our world down here in Torquay….Living here has played a big part in who we have become as people but also as a band. We have always felt like we’re in our own bubble here, cut-off from everyone else, like we’re doing our own thing musically, which has contributed hugely to our sound and our individuality which I feel is everything. So this video was our little nod to Torquay.

But wherever is Torquay? A quick Google search revealed a little seaside town in Devon, England somewhere between Plymouth and Exeter. It looks absolutely lovely and I would love to visit. Now. Luckily, we have the music video to escape there for a little while. Listening to the album, I get quite an early 80s vibe, “Another State” notwithstanding. There are darker nuances on the album and the five-piece comments on “Another State” as follows:

It’s about drifting off to another state of mind, the highs and lows, paranoia it can lead to in a relationship for example. But ultimately the importance it has for your wellbeing to experience it and disconnect with the world for brief blissful moments.
