Thailand’s Wicked Lights is back with a brand-new single, “Grasping At Straws,” dropping on October 25. If you’re into moody indie rock with cinematic vibes, this one’s going to hit all the right notes. It’s a track full of deep emotion, offering a blend of introspective lyrics and a lush soundscape that pulls you in from the first note.

What’s “Grasping At Straws” all about? According to Wicked Lights, it’s a song about those moments when you’re stuck in life, doing everything you can to make things work but realizing the path you’re on might not be right. Sometimes, we have to take the long road, go through setbacks, and even fail. But the song’s message is clear: those tough times shape us, and there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. It’s about staying cool, even when life gets messy—because some things are just out of our control.

Wicked Lights, led by Thai musician Two Charuson, brings a personal touch to this track. Two’s been creating music for decades, pulling from his experiences growing up in Thailand and later attending school in the British countryside. His time in the UK exposed him to a completely different world, from traditional church hymns to the legendary rock of Eric Clapton, Prince, and Joy Division. All these influences have shaped his unique sound, blending disillusionment, joy, and everything in between.

What makes Wicked Lights stand out is Two’s hands-on approach. He plays most of the instruments himself, making the music feel personal and authentic. “Grasping At Straws” follows last year’s EP Have A Nice Dream, and is just a taste of what’s to come. In 2024, Wicked Lights plans to release the standalone single “Grasping At Straws,” followed by their debut Thai EP, Astronauts.

Wicked Lights isn’t just any indie rock project—it’s an artist’s journey through life’s ups and downs, channeled into sound. So, if you’re ready for a track that’s as thought-provoking as it is catchy, make sure to check out Grasping At Straws
