Stalingrad from Lane Lines by Massage

The second track on Lane Lines is the swooning “Stalingrad.” Initially recorded by Lewis Pesacov (Fool’s Gold, Foreign Born, Best Coast) for Still Life, “Stalingrad” was cut from the LP when new songs emerged during lockdown — but with its hazy Clientele arpeggios and surreal Iron Curtain imagery, it’s always been a band favorite. An atmospheric new mix by producer and artist Connor Hanwick (Dondadi, The Drums) provided the finishing touch. A quorum of Strokes — Julian, Fab and Nikolai — make cameos.
