The Beaches have shared their introspective new single ‘Jocelyn’

The Beaches have released a new single, ‘Jocelyn’.

The track comes after a busy year for the Canadian alt-rock band, which saw them release their album ‘Blame My Ex’ and, more recently, perform ar Reading & Leeds.

Lead singer Jordan Miller says: “We wanted to write about the experience of feeling undeserving of all the reverence that was being thrown away after ‘Blame My Ex’ did so well. All of us in the band are just a bunch of messy girls, and we felt strange about the way that some people were putting us on pedestals. Anyways, at some point during the session, our co-writer Lowell kept singing the name ‘Jocelyn’, so we decided to see if we had any fans who were named Jocelyn, and we found one! We kind of wrote it about this brilliant young woman, and about the experience we were going through, feeling uncomfortable and undeserving of Jocelyn’s adulation.”
