“Red Cardigan” has the wonderful familiarity of classic indie rock without feeling like a throwback. Glasgow’s [**Junior VP**](https://new.glamglare.com/artist/junior-vp?ref=glamglare.com) pair guitars, bass, and crisp drums with Ross Macintosh’s expressive, slightly raspy vocals and lovely harmonies.

At its heart, though, “Red Cardigan” is a story. Built around the memory of a long-lost first love, the song unfolds across three verses while keeping an easy melodic pull throughout. Recorded at Glasgow’s now-closed Venice of the North Studios with Jamie Martin, it carries a touch of nostalgia without ever feeling stuck in the past. Macintosh says:

> “I think this is one of the only tracks on our upcoming album that has three verses. We usually try to keep songs short, sweet and going in different directions but I really like the narrative that we managed to put together here. It tells the story of a sort of ‘long-lost first love’ and we hope it resonates, or at the very least that people find themselves humming along to the chorus afterwards. It’s a weird one because the chorus lyrics came whilst I was writing the melody, but I have no idea who Grace is… There’s a lot of playfulness in the instruments and magic moments that can only come from being in the studio.”

Whoever Grace may be, she helped inspire one very memorable indie-rock song. Listen to “Red Cardigan,” our Song Pick of the Day.
