ALPACA SPORTS "Always On My Mind" Digital Single

After the advance singles “Tomorrow I’ll Be Fine” and “Autograph”, it’s now time for “Always On My Mind”, which will be the third advance single from “Another Day”, the new ALPACA SPORTS album. If the first single reflected the jangle and twee-pop spirit of Andreas, Amanda and Lisle’s group, and the second showed their more beautiful and delicate side, supporting their favorite football team with unconditional love, this third single, driven by the production work of Ian Catt (ANOTHER SUNNY DAY, THE FIELD MICE, SAINT ETIENNE, TREMBLING BLUE STARS, SHAMPOO...) brings us in a surprisingly danceable direction, with echoes of NEW ORDER, SAINT ETIENNE, DUBSTAR, EVEN AS WE SPEAK and CLUB 8. Immensely beautiful euro-disco and synth-pop are intermixed with that vocal play which is so emblematic of ALPACA SPORTS’s discography. This current release also includes an extra track that won’t be included on the album, “No Place I’d Rather Be”. The B-side shows a more controlled and organic side and is also the perfect complement for a single that aims to illuminate the darkest of days, because if there’s one thing that Andreas, Amanda and Lisle are experts at, it’s bringing us the brightest lights in the form of sound. And of course, the fitting, colorful cover couldn’t be by anyone other than Ray Kimura. We don’t have to wait much longer to enjoy “Another Day” in its entirety.

 

The spectacular music video is directed by the fantastic Jonas Börjesson and filmed during sunsets at different beaches and locations in the Swedish town Halmstad. A unique summer postcard captured with a Super 8 camera.
