Nashville indie-folk quartet Great Peacock released two new singles this summer, following up their lauded 2015 album Making Ghosts. Today we debut the official video for one of those songs, “Society Hill.” The group’s Andrew Nelson (vocals/guitar) tells Relix, “The song is a return to traditional folk. We started off as a folk band and wanted to put something out that would be representative of our original sound. Even the recording is a live take around a bunch of ribbon mics. Not only is the song a return to our earlier folk sound it also has the melodic feel of a lullaby. The lyrics are about gaining rest in a cemetery. We wanted a melody that would match the lyrical need for slumber. The title of the song is the name of Andrew’s family cemetery in Mississippi. He has many ancestors buried there.”

On Thursday Great Peacock will appear at The High Watt in Nashville.
