Meadow Meadow, the project of Peter Darlington and James Green, has this week released their superb debut single ‘Bonzo’ via Practise Music. The single is the first song they wrote together for their new project and was written remotely between Manchester and London.
After departing their previous band, writing together was a cathartic experience for them both. Through their music, the duo draws upon memories as well as their shared experience of growing up in towns surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Peter said on the single, “‘Bonzo’ was the first song we wrote together that we felt captured the direction of where we wanted to go creatively. It’s about an experience I had riding a bus in the evening to my old hometown that I hadn’t visited for a few years. The journey evoked a slightly surreal nostalgia and I began piecing together some forgotten experiences and memories from my childhood.”
