Listen: Bishop Allen – “Why I Had to Go”
Bishop Allen has just shared a new track from their upcoming album Lights Out. It’s called “Why I Had To Go,” and it’s a characteristically upbeat, tuneful and just slightly so dreamy slice of indie pop that should remind listeners of why they grew so fond of the indie pop group in the first place. Stream it below and soak in its jangly, chiming guitar pop sweetness.
Lights Out will be released Aug. 19 via Dead Oceans. Check out the tracklist below.
