talker specializes in heartfelt, emo-tinged indie-rock; case in point, latest single “Drag Your Feet.” What starts as a quiet rumination explodes into an emotional catharsis, lush with guitar-driven bombast and a strong vocal delivery. With it’s ultra-sincere approach and heart-on-your-sleeve presentation, fans of Bully, The Beths, or even the energy of older Paramore will find lots to love about this new song from talker. About “Drag Your Feet,” talker says this:
“I’ve said that the songs on my new record are my most honest songs ever – but that doesn’t always just mean being honest with others. Sometimes, it means accepting a hard truth for yourself. ‘Drag Your Feet’ was written after the end of a 5-year relationship that had been slowly dying for a really long time. It’s the story of two people crashing into each other’s lives where their roads converge, but then realizing it’s just one point on the map – those roads have to separate. To try to stay together would be like reaching across and ripping apart as those paths move further and further away.”
