Still Blank return with new single ‘Ain’t Quite Right’ — a darker, more charged offering that twists disquiet into beauty and continues to blur the edges of the duo’s already elusive sound.  Written during a stormy Manchester winter, the song marks a shift in dynamic for Still Blank, with Jordy (Kaua’i, Hawaii) and Ben (Manchester, UK) swapping roles in the creative process. The single pairs stripped-back production and swirling dissonance with a sense of slow-burning urgency. It’s an unsettling, arresting listen, equal parts vulnerable and confrontational.

Said Still Blank, “We wrote the song around Christmas in rainy Manchester while listening to a lot of Sonic Youth and PJ Harvey. Usually, Ben leads the music and I work on lyrics and melody, but this one flipped. We wanted it to feel on edge—building tension. The lyrics explore a dysfunctional relationship where both sides are suffocating, and neither can let go. The guitar almost talks back to the vocal, responding with this jarring energy that adds to the unease.”

The release continues Still Blank’s partnership with National Anthem (HAIM, Chvrches), via Capitol Records, and further positions the pair as one of the most enigmatic and exciting new voices in alternative music. Drawing from shoegaze, grunge, and folk influences, their sound remains unpinned, often minimalist and always emotionally rich.
