Following on from a four-date monthly residency at London’s Old Blue Last and a run of festivals, Banfi have dropped a brand new single.
Titled ‘June’, it follows on from previous cut ‘She Comes Home’. Yes. We know. It’s August.
Speaking about the track, Joe from the band explains: “This is a love song based on those classic ‘run to the airport’ scenes near the end of films, only this time he’s too late. Lyrically, I couldn’t get the verses right until I stole Kate Bush’s idea of using ‘Wuthering Heights’ for inspiration, and then Heathcliff’s character was a big help. ‘June’ is actually a hybrid of what began as two separate songs. We like the tension and urgency created between those two threads of those initial songs as they fight for their place in this final version”
