"Failing romance in a pretentious city."
Answered by: Trav Velthoven
Single title: Skyscraper Tan
What's the song about? Failing romance in a pretentious city.
How long did it take to write/record? It was my first song. Guitar first, then slowly the words came. Big League formed a year afterwards, then it was complete. Recording the 7" was quick — both tracks were knocked out in a day.
