Song People Announce New Album Tho I Seem Tame: Hear “Silver Flag”
Song People, a Philadelphia-based indie rock group, has announced the upcoming release of their second full-length album, arriving this October via Strange Mono. Following their 2024 debut, the new record marks the band's continued exploration of jangle-pop and art-rock territory, with the album's title drawing from a 16th-century sonnet by Sir Thomas Wyatt.
The band's aesthetic blends accessible melodic songwriting with experimental production choices, anchored by Shaina Kapeluck's commanding vocal presence. The lead single 'Silver Flag' exemplifies this approach, presenting a propulsive minor-key pop composition with a memorable melodic hook that suggests the band's affinity for both radio-friendly structures and alternative sensibilities reminiscent of influential acts from the prior three decades.
