Ahead of the release of his new single ‘Talk To Me‘, across streaming services and Bandcamp tomorrow (Oct 18th), I’m very pleased to premiere Skyscraper Stan‘s excellent new live/studio video clip for the song on PTW.

Now on the exciting downhill run to the release of his third studio album, Those Were Days, out February 14th on Cheersquad Records & Tapes, Stan rounds out the year with single #4, the richly soulful album opener ‘Talk To Me‘, ahead of a run of live shows with his band The Commission Flats, across VIC, NSW, SA and the ACT.

Complete with a funky organ groove and saxophone solo, Stan reshapes his folk and country beginnings into what one might imagine as a kind of Antipodean Stax or Motown revue, highlighting how much soul music is an integral part of Americana.

On the infectious track, Stan delivers a stellar vocal performance as he sings about conversations in the age of conspiracy. “I’ve had friends fall down the rabbit hole and it can be alarming. This tune is for anyone out there trying to save a loved one from the loonysphere. Don’t turn your back on them. Have a chat. That might be all they need!”
