“Murray’s voice is a beautiful, dreamy magnet for Hughes’s backdrops, which without losing their twang take all sorts of tangents”
MOJO
 
“Some artists release albums to be listened to. Others to be absorbed. And several create music to bask in. Still Corners covers all those and more.”
AMERICAN SONGWRITER
 
“One of those modern-day music quandaries that remains unanswered is why aren’t Still Corners much bigger than they actually are.”
UNDER THE RADAR

Still Corners launch new Single Crystal Blue This week via their own record label, Wrecking Light Records, in anticipation of their new album Dream Talk on 5th April 2024.
 
Crystal Blue is a torch song about two lovers separated by the sea, dreaming of reuniting one day.  Hours go by, day and night, the breeze touches their skin, the waves become their only friends as they wait to meet again under the same moon.  A soft drum beat, congas and a solitary marimba patter away as Tessa Murray asks, "Do fishes sleep, in the ocean blue?  Do you dream of me like I dream of you?".  A crystal clear guitar solo whisks the listener to the far side of the world as the couple head off to a place they've never heard of just to be together again.
 
Recorded across three studios in the south of France, East Sussex, and Woodstock, New York, the new album Dream Talk is elegant and wistful with a sound that is focused, stylish and seductive. Shaped by fantasies, dreams and automatic writing, Dream Talk almost fell together in a dream-like state. Murray explains: “I had tapped into something new and the way it came out was quite hypnotic, like a transitional state between wakefulness and sleep,” adding the album name essentially wrote itself.

Still Corners is the musical project of Tessa Murray and Greg Hughes, and formed shortly after Murray met Hughes by chance at a London train stop in 2009. Over the next (nearly) fifteen years, the band has delivered a steady stream of music that is at once reflective, searching and romantic. Showcasing a unique shimmering desert-noir sound Still Corners have earned global commercial success with such releases as Strange Pleasures (2013) and 2021’s The Last Exit.
 
New single Crystal Blue is Out Now ahead of their sixth album Dream Talk on 5th April 2024 via Wrecking Light Records.
