A stripped back style that wonderfully highlights the band’s euphoric vocals and beyond, we’re loving everything about The Prickly Pair’s latest, “Long Gone”. Read on as we take a closer look into the track, as well as a background on this exciting duo.
The Prickly Pair's latest release, "Long Gone," is a wistful and poignant listening experience that resonates deeply with the emotional complexities of pandemic isolation. The song's throwback country waltz melody instantly transports listeners to a bygone era, where heartache and longing were often expressed through melancholy yet beautiful music. There’s a dreamy aspect about this song as you hit the play button and honestly it’s one of many reasons we’re excited for everyone out there to give it a listen.
The stripped-down instrumentation, featuring acoustic guitar and pedal steel, perfectly complements the song's bittersweet lyrics. The lead singer’s haunting vocals capture the essence of the song's theme, conveying a sense of longing and heartache that is all too familiar in these unprecedented times.

The song is a lovely tribute to the human spirit, and a testament to the enduring power of country music to speak to our deepest emotions.
Another major standout for us here has to be the crispness yet atmospheric nature of the production.
