Princess Goes Share New Single ‘Stranger’ From Their Upcoming New Album
Princess Goes return with ‘Stranger,’ a new single and video that opens the next chapter for the New York City trio.
The band features Michael C. Hall on vocals, Matt Katz-Bohen on keys, synth, bass and guitar, and Peter Yanowitz on vocals, drums, percussion, bass, guitar and synth.
The three first met more than a decade ago while performing in the award winning rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. What began as a stage connection soon turned into a real band, built on friendship, instinct and a shared appetite for strange, cinematic pop.
“I think for each of us Princess came out of nowhere in our lives,” says drummer Peter Yanowitz. “We weren’t necessarily looking to start a band, We were just 3 friends being creative together. We had a space downtown in NYC where we all would meet up and make stuff. Eventually we made enough stuff to share with the world, and we haven’t looked back since.
We’ve also had the luxury of growing sort of under the radar. It’s been a slow burn to this process and we like that people stumble into discovering us and then stick with us. We have very dedicated fans. We’ve been able to do the work and develop our sound on our own terms without anyone trying to make us into something that we’re not. This new record feels like the culmination of every hour we’ve spent together working on Princess, almost like we needed to make all that other stuff just to be fortunate enough to be in a position to fully blossom and make this new record, which we feel is our most definitive work to date.”
Since then, Princess Goes have released a debut EP and two full length albums, and their third full length record is due later this year. The band has also played more than one hundred shows worldwide, while keeping a sense of mystery around their sound and identity.
‘Stranger’ is described by the band as a song about meeting others with kindness and curiosity. It moves from a grunge tinted bass opening into a Britpop inspired rush, before building toward a wide, soaring finale about connection and transformation.
