Today, Nashville-based, indie rock rising act FERGUSON announced the release of his new single, "Never In My Life." Produced & engineered by William Brown and released via The Orchard - listen HERE.
Merging timeless classic pop, folk, and indie rock, "Never In My Life" synth’s sparkle and guitar’s jangle, filling the airways with the promise of new love.
The latest from a singular singer-songwriter, who has been working on an album project, is now destined to be released later this year. In a time where joy is an ever-welcome (if not elusive) companion, “Never In My Life” offers the listener an opportunity to reflect on all things beautiful.
“‘Never In My Life’ is an ode to freshly sparked romance,” stated FERGUSON, adding “to the feeling of locking eyes from across a crowded room and knowing that, amidst the chaos, you and this person are on the same wavelength.”
FERGUSON also released a video to accompany the single. Premiered exclusively by FLOOD MAGAZINE, it was directed by Casey Pierce and it features dancers: Amanda Reichert, Kristen Carrara and McKay House. Watch HERE
FERGUSON’s “pushing even further into experimental pop territory and lovelorn lyricism with his new track,” stated FLOOD. “Vibrant synths, sharp guitar, and ooh-ing backing vocals all help to accent a song which effectively translates the butterflies that come with a newly unfolding courtship to music”
FERGUSON will perform at New York City’s Mercury Lounge on February 11 and at Nashville’s The End on February 13. Tickets are on sale now - please visit https://fergusonsongs.com/ for more info.
Brown and FERGUSON recorded the track in an attic amidst the sweltering heat of a Tennessee summer. Initially, two songs combined into one - slowly but surely it began to take shape. Between the homemade baffles and the vaulted wood ceiling, the attic provided the exact sound they were looking for. Using studio techniques inspired by the 70s, pioneered by McCartney’s experimental solo albums, they captured the analog studio synth sound, updating it for our modern age.
FERGUSON (formerly Ian Ferguson) is a self-proclaimed high school dropout from a one-stoplight town outside of Nashville, he embarked on a solo career after he formed and dissolved his high school band Kingston Springs, when they were on the verge of success, with shows at Austin City Limits Music Festival, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo lineup, and a major label deal on the table.
Headstrong with a solo vision, FERGUSON’s self-released debut album State Of Gold, a breakthrough indie hit, with BILLBOARD comparing him to the “The Beatles and Brian Wilson” and SOUND OPINIONS praised his “Wonderful rootsy psychedelia meets country, that transports you to another world of the best psychedelic rock.”
FERGUSON has worked hard at work on a follow-up album which will be released in 2025, and if “Never In My Life” is a measure, it’s been worth the wait.
