Alae release new single 'Stone Cold'

Following on from the streaming smash ‘Too Strung Up’, which saw the Auckland 3-piece woo a legion of new fans across NZ, Australia and the USA, Alae return with an addictive ode to the mother of all drugs – love – on their brand-new track ‘Stone Cold’, which releases today. 

‘Stone Cold’ is a celebration of the complexities of new love and the conflicting emotions that arise. Introduced with a delicate guitar line, a building groove and an airy, effervescent chorus it’s an aural embodiment of an emotional journey laid bare. Vocalist Alex Farrell-Davey explains - “Love is a consuming and confronting high – it can alter your perspective on everything. Once the hit sinks in, paranoia and the second guessing begins. The song goes on to accept the conflict as part of the whole experience and finally brushes itoff in the chorus -"There's all these things that I want to do with you by my side. For the first time in my entire life, well, I don't mind."

Coming off the back of an epic headline show at Auckland’s Music in Parks alongside Blackbird Ensemble, Tami Neilson and Julia Deans and support for Australia’s John Butler Trio in Napier, Alae begin their 5 date NZ tour with Christchurch’s Nomad tonight at Auckland’s Galatos.
