For acoustic duo Two Towns, fun music mixed with a healthy dose of melancholy is the blueprint. “We wanted to write a sad song that was still upbeat and happy,” explains Hunter Myers, who along with band mate Zac Young make up Two Towns. The band has just dropped their debut single ‘Should Have Been Me’, an acoustic Bedroom Pop single aimed at creating a vibe.
From the opening acoustic guitar riff through the melancholy chorus, the vibe is certainly there: “It should have been me that you wanted more/ It should have me now I’m ripped and torn/ It should have been me waiting at your door/ It should have been me now my heart feels sore.” Two Towns croon over a sparse alternative-indie acoustic arrangement.
‘Should Have Been Me’ is now streaming on all major platforms.
