Los Angeles dreampop act Brijean have unveiled their new single "Caldwell’s Way" today.

The track, which can be heard below, is a bittersweet tune about the act’s fond memories of their Bay Area community. Brijean percussionist/singer Brijean Murphy and multi-instrumentalist/producer Doug Stuart both left the region following the deaths of family members. Murphy further explains the song, which is out on digital services right now:

“Dougie and I wrote this song in the midst of deep life changes. We found ourselves uprooted in the Southwest, processing both personal and geographic loss. I had never felt physical withdrawals from a place and community, until then. I missed The Bay and our friends in it - even thinking about certain buildings and streets brought me comfort and longing. This song is a loving farewell to the people and places I may never embrace again."

"Caldwell’s Way" stems from Brijean’s forthcoming Angelo EP, which will be released on August 5th via Ghostly International. Pre-orders/pre-saves for the release can be made here.
