Du Blonde & Samuel T. Herring’s single was recorded in one take in Los Angeles.
Ten years on from their road trip around the United States, Du Blonde & Samuel T. Herring of Future Islands have released their standalone track Pelican Canyon.
The pair undertook studio time in LA when their four-week trip around the US reached California after it had visited 15 states coast-to-coast in all, including Virgina, Maryland, New York and South Carolina,
“Pelican Canyon is a song that’s really close to my heart,” Du Blonde has said.
It’s a time capsule of one of many trips I took in my early twenties, when the world was still new to me and I was adventurous enough to drive out into the desert with a total stranger. It encompasses a feeling and experience I’ve been looking to recreate ever since.
