New single available now
Winnetka Bowling League and Sasha Sloan release a new single accompanied by a lovely animated video for “Barcelona” out now via RCA Records.
The track was produced by Winnetka frontman Matthew Koma, and co-written by Koma, Dan Book and Sasha Sloan. Wistful lyrics “It doesn’t mean, it doesn’t mean that I loved you any less/Just cause we reached the end” are surrounded by a dreamy, indie pop bouncing melodies, a signature sound that Koma and band excel at.
“‘Barcelona’ is a song about still being able to have love for the person that it didn’t work out with,” Koma offers. “I always feel the urge to discredit every ounce of a relationship after it’s over because it feels way better than scrolling the highlight feed…but sometimes there was a lot of good worth recognizing & the ending doesn’t have to be this big dramatic ‘delete all.’ I had a super rough voice note of the chorus on it, and I sent it to Sasha. She told me to finish it, and when I did, she was sweet enough to lend her voice to it.”
“Winnetka Bowling League opened for me on tour (before COVID and the world fell apart),” Sloan offers. “Matt and I hit it off on the road and we’ve kept in touch ever since. When he sent me ‘Barcelona,’ I fell in love with it and wanted to jump on the track!”
“Barcelona” is the first single from Winnetka Bowling League’s forthcoming EP and follows their 2020 critically-acclaimed Congratulations.
