[13 June 2022; London, UK] As Bartees Strange gears up for the digital release of his highly anticipated second album and 4AD debut, Farm to Table, out this Friday 17 June, he releases new single ‘Wretched’ today. The song is paired with a video directed by Michael Parks Randa that mirrors the rags-to-riches, started-at-the-bottom-now-we-here theme of the album as a whole.
Bartees says of ‘Wretched’,
“This song is about the people who’ve always stood by me, even when I was wretched. WhenIi was trying to be something other than myself – they saw me even through that and held me down. Folks from past lives, and folks who’ll play a big part in my future – I’m grateful for them and the love they’ve poured into me. This song is for and about them.”
