Swiss Indie Rock Band Annie Taylor, Drop New Single “The Ocean”

After announcing their new album “Out Of Scale” and the first single “Lucidity”, the Swiss indie rock band Annie Taylor returns with the new track “The Ocean”, available NOW on all digital platforms.

Yearning guitar lines blend with the voice of singer Gini Jungi. “The Ocean” is a quiet moment on indie-rock band Annie Taylor’s new album “Out of Scale”. The sun slowly sets, leaving behind a mixture of melancholy, loss, and gratitude. Gini remembers the songwriting process: “The song grew out of a kind of heartbreak or maybe more the anticipation of it. That strange feeling when you sense something might fall apart before it actually does. Suddenly everything feels a little more fragile, like the ground is slowly shifting while you’re still trying to hold on to something steady. That atmosphere is really where the song came from - a mix of uncertainty, tension, and the quiet sense that something is about to change...”.

A soothing track that blends perfectly into “Out Of Scale”, set for release on May 22 via Clouds Hill and characterized by songs with intense emotions, chaotic relationships and big dreams. On the new album, the band have further developed their sound. The band's first album, “Sweet Mortality”, brought them international fame, seemingly out of nowhere. They recorded their second album, “Inner Smile” in the U.K. It was rougher, more honest. Now they have sharpened their style once again. Each song sounds different yet inevitably follows on from the next. Distorted guitar and empowering grunge rage are followed by repetitive psychedelia. Then there’s a thoughtful, almost quiet song. Somewhere between Courtney Barnett and Wet Leg. Much of the new music was written in the summer, during the holidays when Zurich was almost empty. Singer Gini Jungi remembers the taste of sunscreen and salt on her skin. Summer dresses. Endless time to think. Sometimes that felt good, when a night unfolded without a plan, in limbo, and she still felt a stark clarity. But sometimes she would sit on the carpet in her apartment, feeling alone, playing guitar, feeling loss, but also gratitude.

Many songs on “Out Of Scale” are about friendships and romantic relationships. About feeling secure and feeling the euphoria when someone shows you the beauty of the world. Memories of a time when everything was good. Then the doubts creep in. Something is no longer right. I am not your answer. I am not your cure. Songs like “The Ocean” or “Something ain't right” find melodies for this mood, this mix of desire, longing, and comfort. Sometimes Gini Jungi's voice is in the background and reduced, then suddenly the fog lifts and she is very close.
