Starcrawler have released their new single ‘Stranded’. Check it out below, along with our interview with frontwoman Arrow De Wilde.Announced last month alongside its title track, ‘She Said’ is the Los Angeles band’s third album but their first for a major label. ‘Stranded’ follows the title track and the release of the album’s first single ‘Roadkill’ in May.“It’s not just a hard rock, banger type of song like we normally make,” De Wilde told NME of ‘Stranded’. “I really like that song and I’m excited for it to come out but I’m also curious what people will say.”The video, directed by actor Danny Trejo’s son and De Wilde’s partner Gilbert Trejo, sees the band play weary employees in a shop and fast food restaurant, undertaking unglamorous routine jobs.

A glowing pink door then appears, as the band and other characters decide to step into the unknown where an otherworldly party awaits them.“That video was so much fun to make,” De Wilde said. “It was kind of thrown together and a bit of scramble but we just got all our friends and basically had a party and filmed it.

Then did these little vignette scenes around it and made a story. Normally I do think of a story and figure out how to make it work with the budget that we have.She continued: “For this one, all I knew is that I wanted it to feel like a summer night.

But also a fantasy, or like a movie. Or the feeling that you get when you’re out with your friends and it’s hot out and you’re in the car.
