Indie pop duo Mates of State have released "Somewhere", their first new song since the release of their 2015 EP, You're Going to Make It.

The band – comprised of husband/wife duo Jason Hammel and Kori Gardner, who play drums and keys (respectively) and both sing and write – made a name for themselves in the slightly-twee-leaning indie pop sphere in the 2000s, eventually releasing Mountaintops, their seventh and (still) last album. After the aforementioned EP a few years later, they stopped releasing new music, though they did continue touring extensively. (They just wrapped up a headlining tour this summer.)

Listen to the song below:

A press release accompanying the release of this new song reads:

"'Somewhere' explores a couple's past individual relationships. Can you set aside lost love, resentment, and even trauma, to try and understand that all those things from the past created the person that you now love? To whatever degree, those previous loves will always live somewhere within you. And that’s ok and maybe even good. Humans are WIP’s."

The band did release an Of Montreal cover back in 2016 for Polyvinyl Plays Polyvinyl, where they contributed their rendition of "So Begins Our Alabee" from that band's The Sunlandic Twins, but this is their first new original music since 2015.
