‘Look Out The Other Window‘ is the second single from The Window, a new 5-track EP from Cardiff four-piece Part Time Signals.
Today we are debuting the accompanying video below, this wistful song that concludes the band’s new EP, gradually unfolds with elegantly drawn instrumentation and bittersweet vocals, there is a touch of the more meditative moments in Blur‘s back catalogue about the sound, knowingly it alludes to and draws from other songs in the band’s catalogue. It’s about accepting change and the passage of time:
The band say “The song shares similar chordal structures and melodies to the original idea [Look Out The Window] whilst developing the ideas further. Overall it has a much more positive message, it’s about seeing change over time through the lens of a window, and embracing it rather than feeling disdainful.”
Self-recorded at Giant Wafer Studios in Mid Wales in February 2024, and features a multitude of layers including hand-played drums, phased guitars and percussion. The recording was mixed & produced by the band’s bassist Sam Barnes.
Part Time Signals are a four-piece band from Cardiff, Wales. Jacob Church (Sock), Michael Blanchfield (ANGHARAD), Gavin Jenkins (Rainbow Maniac, KEYS, Show Dogs) and Sam Barnes (Boy Azooga, AhGeeBe, Sock). Their full-length debut album Another Day In Paradise was released 20th October 2023 with Bubblewrap Collective both digitally and with a limited run of vinyl copies.
After recording their first album, BBC Horizons funding made it possible for the band to spend a whole week recording at Giant Wafer Studios in Mid Wales. The band are currently gearing up to release a 5 track EP titled ‘The Window’. The EP will serve as a precursor to the band’s second album which is set to be released later in the year. Making full use of the instruments, recording equipment and time available at the studio, this hefty recording session has seen the band take stock with a plethora of new songs, evolving into a more refined and maturing sound.
