This fiery dance-pop anthem lands today, 31st January, fresh from the band’s explosive debut UK tour and shows at Glasgow’s iconic Barrowlands. From its heartfelt storytelling to its high-octane production, “Crying in Marseille” isn’t just a breakup anthem – it’s a reminder to own your story, say no to the wrong vibes, and find your power (preferably with a good glass of wine in hand).
The track, penned in a haze of heartbreak and French red wine, takes listeners through the chaos of love on the road. While playing Fete de La Music in Aix-en-Provence, vocalist Lorna got dumped mid-tour by a jealous local lad who didn’t quite get why she preferred rocking festival stages to nights at the local pub. With her bandmates Belly and Lewis by her side, the duo turned a night of emotional chaos into musical magic, crafting a song that’s equal parts empowerment and escapism.
“Sometimes, the best way to deal with heartbreak is to dance through it,”Lorna quips, “And if that fails, there’s always wine!”
With gritty Glasgow roots and soaring alt-pop hooks, “Crying in Marseille” is quintessential Pistol Daisys: a blend of bold vocals, blistering guitar riffs, and a fresh edge that nods to icons like Blondie and Kate Bush. Already making waves with a GBX remix tearing up The Hits Network, this is an anthem for anyone ready to swap heartbreak for high.
This spring, they’re set to hit the road again, supporting Scottish rock legends Big Country across the UK, with additional headlining dates and festival appearances throughout 2025.
Don’t miss Pistol Daisys’ “Crying in Marseille”out now on all major streaming platforms.
