The Wanted: Strange Flight

"The cinematic reverb weaves in and out of this harrowing story as Natalie’s voice rises to a cry of desperation— a standout mix of the traditional and modern." Americana UK As songwriters, The Wanted largely adhere to folk music’s storytelling tradition, albeit with modern inspiration. That’s certainly the case with Strange Flight’s title track, released on February 19th, 2021— a song Jeff wrote based on a disturbing dream Natalie had about a boy she once knew who committed suicide rather than expose the sexual abuse he’d experienced. “That song started really as a cry of frustration and anger at things in the past we can't change,” Jeff explains. “It also came at a time when I was listening to a lot of dark, ‘60s spaghetti western-influenced guitar music. I wanted the song to have a kind of a cinematic quality, which I thought suited the song’s emotional content."
