Marc Govan's second single "Falcon Head" is a folk-rock ode to seafarers. It has a full sound, with various wind instruments suggesting the force of the ocean, and with backing vocals echoing through the chorus. The song was inspired by a photo of a lighthouse in a storm. A wave crashed into the back, sending spray above the building itself. In the doorway at the front was the lighthouse keeper. He looked tiny against the background of the vast body of water.
The first single from the upcoming album High Tide, “The Apple Tree” is available on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Country-style fiddle playing and jazzy clarinet licks add to the guitars and drums in this song. In a few words and through a few tempo changes, "The Apple Tree" tells a simple story that spans generations.
