Written as a gateway to \u201ca break from the dullness\u201d the song was co-produced alongside\u00a0Rupert Lyddon\u00a0(Wolf Alice, King Nun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swooping in on the back of a lively guitar-driven intro, the song moves through the gears at lightning pace. Lyrically alluding to social insecurities and feelings of misplacement which are summed up by lyrics like:&nbsp;<em>\u201cIn the wrong place, there\u2019s no tracks, but the train is leaving&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking more on the inspiration and lyrical meaning behind the new single, the band\u2019s vocalist Zaine Masoliver said: <em>\u201cUnsure to me is about the feeling of mentally not being on top of things; thinking and daydreaming &#8211; which I feel I might do a bit too much (unconsciously of course). It\u2019s the realisation that the people you\u2019re with or the situation you\u2019re in isn\u2019t right for you and looking for that opening\u2026 being in the moment and rejecting mundanity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>beachtown was formed in 2019, during a chance meeting in the queue for a gig in Kingston, South London when the search for a lost ticket turned into a conversation. Building a world together in their bedroom studios, their DIY ambition is catapulting the pair into exciting new spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Unsure<\/em> follows recent single <em>Toybox<\/em>; two bold, eccentric cuts in their own right and next on the duo\u2019s agenda is the release of their second EP \u2018UNSAYABLE\u2019 out\u00a012 May, continuing to build on their library of found sounds, which is sure to further cement\u00a0beachtown\u00a0as ones to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since signing to Young Poet, beachtown have received key press support from\u00a0The Line Of Best Fit, The Independent, Dummy Mag, La Blogotheque\u00a0and more.
