GLOBAL NEWS—flipturn unleashes a different version of their chart-topping track “Sad Disco“ from their self-titled album Shadowglow.
The rework, which is a more experimental take of the original, was recorded and produced at Pine Studios in Jacksonville, Florida, by the band’s close friend Taylor Neal. The fan-favorite song’s lyrics give the cliche of being “helplessly in love” a much more literal meaning, making it the perfect lovelorn single to strip down for Valentine’s Day.
On “Sad Disco (Pine Studios)”, the band said, “One of our favorite aspects of writing music is that there can be so many different ways to interpret the same track. Even after we’re ‘done’ with a song, we can’t help but find new ways to play these songs for you. We can’t wait for y’all to meet this other side of ‘Sad Disco!’”
Consistently allowing for their music to be viewed under varying lenses, flipturn released a 1950s sci-fi/ horror inspired official video for “Sad Disco” around Halloween. Whether you prefer the suspenseful version with creatures from outer space, or the tender, syrupy Pine Studios version of “Sad Disco,” the band allows for their music to be appreciated in any form that is beneficial to the listener in that moment in time.
