about

With the major announcement of an all-new full-length album from legendary Finnish pop-rockers THE BABLERS coming very soon, BIG STIR RECORDS is thrilled to announce the next single previewing what's in store. “Queen Of Yesterday” b/w “Where Were You My Friend” is out Friday, April 23 and up for pre-order at bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com/music now, and streaming everywhere on the release date.

Long-running heroes of the global pop scene, THE BABLERS have been called the Finnish Supergroup of Pop for a good reason: Finnish Grammy Award winners and seasoned professionals Janne Haavisto, Hannu Pikkarainen, Pekka Gröhn and Arto Tamminen have all proven their skills, talents and pop sensibility many times over. From ruling their homeland's power pop scene on their 1980 debut What's All About to a literally-big-in-Japan resurgence in the late '90s through the band's current run of brilliant singles, THE BABLERS have remained a no-nonsense pop band with an attitude. What you hear is what you get. If you hear drums, guitars and pianos... they are drums, guitars and pianos played by the members of the band. No autotune. No samples. Just 100% genuine handmade organic pop music, from day one to the present.

“Queen Of Yesterday” is a pop waltz with nostalgic, progressive and psychedelic echoes from the 60’s and 70’s classics. It has a great melody that sticks with you and rich dynamics ranging from its delicate acoustic intro to the rock anthem crescendos that see the song take flight. The lyrics tell a story that resonates with many and binds the decades together: most of us have met a queen (or king) of yesterday at some point in our lives. The words and music form a rich fabric of sounds and melodies you can dive into. There is definitely some magic happening on this track.

The B-side “Where Were You My Friend” is a melodic and catchy acoustic man-and-a-guitar pop tune. It deals with the age-old question many have asked regarding their closest relationships. It's framed with the strong and immediate atmosphere that can only be achieved through live recording. Taken together – and along with THE BABLERS' recent hit “Love Is Everything” – they represent just a few of the melodic textures on display on the band's forthcoming album PSYCHADILLY CIRCUS, due in May from Big Stir Records. Watch this space for more release details as you wait for the Circus to come to town!
