Shenanygans Delve into Heartache with 'Like Strangers'

Swiss-based indie rockers Shenanygans channel nostalgia and raw emotion in their latest single 'Like Strangers', reflecting on love lost and the pain of drifting apart.

Emerging from the vibrant Swiss indie music scene, Shenanygans release their poignant new single, 'Like Strangers'. Crafted in a rustic garage setting during the winter of 2023, this track is a heartfelt exploration of fading love and the desperation of trying to hold on to what once was.


In 'Like Strangers', Shenanygans not only share a story of personal loss but also craft a universal message about the inevitability of change in relationships. Their unique blend of vocal harmonies and instrumental interplay offers a rich, emotive soundscape that resonates with anyone who has faced the pain of a fading connection.


Setting the scope for an emotional piece, 'Like Strangers' opens with a deep-toned, lonely riff whose only friend is its drummer. There's a beautiful sound that floats you through the piece, it's the harmonies. Before you know it, things switch up - you find yourselves in a new era, or rather a golden old one. Is anybody a fan of The Beatles? Okay, now we're cooking on gas.


'Like Strangers' has an effortless ability to transition between the melancholy and slow to the upbeat and jolly. Shenaygans have certainly found their sound!

As the third single from their upcoming album "On Monte Verita", 'Like Strangers' hopes to build on the band's previous indie playlist successes. The track juxtaposes the warmth of cherished memories with the cold reality of a love that has grown distant, encapsulated by the poignant lyrics and evocative guitar melodies.


The band, comprised of two Irish brothers, Dan and Kaylem Hannon-Barry, along with Swiss multi-instrumentalist Tom Brunner and Swiss-Polish bassist Lucky Luki, brings a dynamic and engaging sound that blends influences from classic rock icons like The Kinks and The Velvet Underground with modern touches reminiscent of Arctic Monkeys and Rex Orange County.


As they prepare for their album launch, Shenanygans continue to impress with their lyrical depth and musical versatility, promising more insightful and relatable indie rock anthems in the near future.
