Stef Chura – “Lovesick” & “Thunder And Lightning”
Detroit indie rock fave Stef Chura is returning from a seven-year absence this fall with new album Dancing Alone On The Concrete . She made it in Athens, Georgia with Robert Schneider and his Elephant 6 associates, and half of R.E.M. played on the twangy, jangly lead single " Danny ." The same can't be said about Chura's two new tracks out today, but that doesn't mean you should sleep on them.…
Detroit indie rock artist Stef Chura is preparing to release her new album, Dancing Alone On The Concrete, this fall after a seven-year hiatus. She collaborated with Robert Schneider and Elephant 6 associates during her time in Athens, Georgia. The lead single from the album, "Danny," features contributions from former R.E.M. members. In addition to "Danny," Chura has released two new tracks: "Lovesick" and "Thunder and Lightning."
"Lovesick" is a piano-driven ballad that explores the desire for love, both healthy and toxic, and the addictive nature of wanting someone who may be harmful. Chura admits that she was aware of the toxicity but still yearned for the other person's attention. "Thunder and Lightning," on the other hand, is an upbeat, minimal keyboard rocker that evokes memories of 2002's music scene.
Chura explains that the song reflects her shift from jealousy to curiosity, allowing her to gain a sense of control over a situation she previously felt powerless to influence. The album is set to be released on October 2nd via Saddle Creek Records.
