Collect Call unveil love letter to the difital age on new single Pretense!

Collect Call are delighted to announce the release of their dreamy new single, Pretense.

The brainchild of Joe Thorpe, Collect Call began as a full band but have developed into a solo project with Joe enlisting help from his musician friends from time to time. Creating whimsical, earnest segments of indie pop, Joe skillfully exhibits a nuanced fragility and openness through his lyrics.

Pretense is the perfect example of this. A simple, sampled beat plays out over subtle, strummed guitars as Joe’s fragile vocals flutter and float beautifully from the first note to the last. A poignant love letter within the digital age, Pretense implores us to step away from the echo chamber of the internet, instead encouraging us to care for the people who actually matter to us in life.

Pretense by Collect Call is out now via Murmuration.
