DOWNLOAD: Diego Garcia - "You Were Never There"

Former Elefant vocalist Diego Garcia has released the first single from his forthcoming solo disc as a free download (link above) and he is playing a show at Le Poisson Rouge this Thursday night.

"You Were Never There" (available as a two-track single on iTunes) is a departure from Elefant's indie-rock. This track is a throwback to the innocence and rich musical arrangements of some of the crooners from the 60's. In an interview last year with Black Book, Diego said "This solo record is from a malady of love, specifically and inspired by Laura, my ex-girlfriend. I think it’s a running script, and I think I know how it ends, and that’s that. That is what this album is ... it’s about closure."

Tickets for the show at Le Poisson Rouge are $10 and Diego is playing with Sarabeth Tucek.
