‘Pasadena Girls’ by Cash & Skye | New Album, ‘Just A Stranger’
Exclusive track premiere of ‘Pasadena Girls’ by Cash & Skye, taken from the upcoming album, ‘Just A Stranger,’ slated for release February 21st, 2024.
Last month, Los Angeles duo Cash & Skye announced their debut full length album, ‘Just A Stranger.’ The duo, comprised of Henri Cash and Sophia Skye, have been casually writing and recording songs together for almost 7 years. They put no pressure on a timeline or genre for their music, often creating songs together that they never knew would see the light of day.
Today, Cash & Skye unveil the next single from their album, ‘Pasadena Girls.’ “Being born and raised in Pasadena, I have a lot of love for my hometown,” Sophia muses. “There are a lot of cultural cornerstones we are known for, like the formation of Van Halen or being the first place Michael Jackson ever moon walked. And yet, there are some things people don’t know about us quite yet.”
Following their successful 7” ‘No More Candy’ (Third Man Records) in 2021, this new album’s alluring infusion of Americana and Rock and Roll, executed with a punk-rock ethos, documents the band’s 7 year musical journey. Some of the songs were recorded with just Henri and Sophia, and some were joined by the tight-knit musicians from Cash’s prolific and beloved band, Starcrawler. This long-awaited chronicle of songs were recorded in spare moments over the years between international tours, college classes, and eight-hour shifts. It explores modern recording techniques combined with classic analog tape recording in an attempt to naturally capture the music in a way that stays true to the sounds of the classic records that influenced them. Although very different from the raucous chaos of Starcrawler, these songs dive deep into the traditions of country storytelling while still maintaining a raw and honest edge.
