about

White Bike, the brand-new Portland band led by Arianna Rose delivers their 2nd single, "While You Were Away" on the heels of their first release, "I Like You" earlier this year. While "I Like You" has a loveable pop familiarity, the new single has a buzzed swagger reminiscent of the Kills or even Band of Skulls. The synthy fuzz bass punches through the thick, uptempo beat while searing guitars interplay with the male & female shared lead vocal. The digital release of the song is set for Friday, July 30th on all streaming platforms. The band plans to release yet another single next month to complete their debut EP, "A++."

lyrics

while you were away
we swept the floors
we pulled out chairs
we opened doors
while you were away

while you were away
we kept her fed
we entertained
we listened to every word she had to say

while you were away
we took good care
of what you left
nobody said that it was fair

while you were away
she laughed at your jokes
that we all stole
like mirrors and smoke
while you were away

we tried on your robe and slippers today
and we watched your your puddles gather rain
and we let your umbrella guard the rain

while you were away
