about
The second single from The Garrys' fourth album, 'Get Thee to a Nunnery', available September 24, 2021 on Grey Records.
Taking its title from a fading prairie town with a deceptively intriguing and far-away sounding name, “Sintaluta” is a dreamy, psychedelic track that uses swirling guitars and ethereal vocals to capture that fleeting feeling of being aware of your own happiness in a specific time and place, and the quiet heartbreak of knowing the transience of such moments.

lyrics
Once I looked up and into the sky
It was all quiet, pink black and white
I held my breath as snow fallin’ round
To settle in all white over brown
And when I knew it was something good
I was afraid to leave where I stood
I called to you but you walked away
And didn’t notice, I guess that’s okay
Sintaluta, Sintaluta
Yeah it’s coming, all fallin’ down
And the snow it stopped all the sound
I caught myself, at first I was fine
It passed me by, but maybe next time
released July 2, 2021

Smart, energetic and hooky; modern take on a post-punk/new wavey vibe with lyrics that perfectly capture the distortions of modern life, social media, etc. Claire Battle
