PAWS release new single and video for "Uncertain"
Scottish alternative rock band PAWS have released their latest single "Uncertain" today, accompanied by an animated video. The track is taken from the band's self-titled album, due out on 27 October via Ernest Jenning Record Co. and the band's own Wish Fulfillment Press.
"Uncertain" is a brooding and introspective song about the feeling of being lost and insecure. It's a relatable topic for many people, and PAWS capture it perfectly in their music. The song starts with a slow, melancholic guitar riff before building to a crescendo of distorted guitars and pounding drums. Phillip Jon Taylor's vocals are passionate and raw, and he delivers the lyrics with an emotional intensity that is impossible to ignore. The accompanying video for "Uncertain" is animated by Taylor himself.
Phillip Jon Taylor says of “Uncertain”:
"It's a song about Uncertainty! In one’s self, one’s abilities, one’s mood, one’s health, one’s whatever else. It’s also about feeling ashamed and guilty for over sharing, extroverting and alienating yourself."
"The week that Josh and I were simultaneously writing and tracking at the house, we were just changing guitars and sounds for whatever riff it suited. This one was the third track we did and came from picking up my battered Jaguar that I haven’t used in a minute.
I love the dynamics in this one. It’s kinda moody/broody and then has a Teenage Fanclub-esque (I wish) chorus. The guitar solo, which I rarely indulge, is kinda cool on this one though, and one of my favourite moments on the record for sure."
The new single is just a taste of what to expect from PAWS' upcoming self-titled album. The album is a collection of 10 songs that explore a wide range of topics, from love and loss to anger and frustration. It's a mature and cohesive album that shows PAWS at their best.
The band has been together for over a decade, and they have released four critically acclaimed albums. They are known for their energetic live shows and their ability to connect with their fans on a personal level.
PAWS are one of the most exciting bands in the alternative rock scene today. Their new single, "Uncertain," is a must-listen for fans of the genre. The upcoming self-titled album is shaping up to be one of the best albums of the year.
