Los Angeles alt-rock band Starling is excited to announce their new EP, Forgive Me, out June 27 via San Antonio’s Sunday Drive Records. Heralding the announcement is ‘I Can Be Convinced,’ a hard-hitting but sickly sweet departure from their sparse and airy dreamscapes. The release sees the four-piece examine an all-consuming love and the comfort one can find in confinement. Soaring guitars, blistering hi-hats and bandleader Kasha Souter Willett’s saultering vocals push the song towards sonic chaos.

“Smothered. Wrapped up in a warm blanket so tightly you cannot move. A song written about needing stillness, to be told no, to be confined all in a confused love,” Starling say. “Kasha did not intend the song to take such an upbeat direction when she brought it to the band. Although it is a sad and yearning song, the beat and arrangement made this song our lead single.”
