Lead single/Title track from Still Corners' fifth album

There is an accompanying video in support of the track which is below

The musical project of Greg Hughes and Tessa Murphy, the group formed after a chance meeting when waiting for a train in London in 2009. Over the last decade the band have produced a steady stream of romantic and reflective music.

Signed to Sub Pop quickly after, they released two albums with the label before forming their own label Wrecking Light to release Dead Blue in 2016 and Slow Air in 2018 to critical acclaim.

The first single, is the final chapter of the Still Corners' road trilogy. What began with 'The Trip' and was followed by 'The Message' concludes with the stunning 'The Last Exit'. The video inspired by Peter Weir's 1975 classic Picnic at Hanging Rock finds Tessa pulled into the mysterious rocks of Joshua Tree.

Tessa explains: "In a world where everyone thinks all the corners of the map are filled in we like to suggest there's something beyond that, something eternal in the landscape and in our psyche.  Maybe you don't see it every day but it's there and that's what we are trying to connect to."

With a galloping beat and silver tone guitar creating this hypnotic hippy sound, The Last Exit races down a highway to destination unknown a bracing bout of elegance of a world unseen.

The album listing consists of 11 tracks:

• 1. The Last Exit
• 2. Crying
• 3. White Sands
• 4. Till We Meet Again
• 5. A Kiss Before Dying
• 6. Bad Town

Tessa further remarks on how the pandemic has brought a different focus on the album: “There's always something at the end of the road and for us it was this album. Our plans were put on hold – an album set for release, tours, video shoots, travel. We’d been touring nonstop for years, but we were forced to pause everything. We thought the album was finished but with the crisis found new inspiration and started writing again.”
