“Are you under a love spell?” inquired a flyer circulated by Philly noisepop band So Totally to tease their new single “Welcome Back.” “Look for the signs. You are not alone. Call now for support.”
The hazy, heavy song, released yesterday, seems to speak to that return to reality after the initial flush of feelings that comes with love; the way those feelings can get used as a crutch, and the way that sometimes the best defense against despair is to embrace solitude.
The song is out now, via Bandcamp, and comes paired with a creepy music video, which you can watch below.
