In Their Words: “The Last Dance is an apocalyptic dance track woven with timely wisdom. The juxtaposition of dancing along to the beat while facing certain doom is what the single is all about. Jesse Phillips originally composed the beat and bassline of this track that perfectly captured the feeling of accepting heavy subject matter while simultaneously radiating effusive joy. It encapsulates the beauty of our creative process – examining heavy topics in a fun and experimental way. Though the world is falling in on us, might as well laugh about it, rather than cry. This is a stripped-down performance of that song which is always an adventure.” — Paul Janeway of St. Paul & The Broken Bones

Song: “Love Letter From a Red Roof Inn”
Album: The Alien Coast
Release Date: January 28, 2022
Label: ATO Records

In Their Words: “The album was birthed through the idea of falling asleep in a hotel and having a sequence of nightmares, then waking up and missing home so badly. … I remember writing sketches for this song on some hotel notepad. I was lost in thought while looking at the ceiling and just missing home. I was trying not to write in clichés but ended up doing it anyway. The song is meant to sound like someone talking softly over a telephone call. A very hard song to sing because it has to be so delicately done.” — Paul Janeway, St. Paul & The Broken Bones
