Denver-based roots sextet Clay Street Unit has released their new single “Choctaw County,” a duet featuring Lindsay Lou, via the band’s new label home, Leo33.
“Choctaw County” is a pensive reflection on lost love and the passage of time as told through the warm and weathered voice of lead singer Sam Walker and Lindsay Lou’s emotive tone.
“It’s a song about two people looking back on a relationship in the place they grew up, one from the perspective of someone who left and one who stayed,” says Walker. “It’s about what could have been and holding onto the memories they shared together when they were young. We really tried to match the melody with the mood, and the lift in the last chorus plays into that feeling of lingering regret and how life could’ve played out.”
The cinematic narration paints vivid imagery while the honesty and intimacy strike a delicate balance between regret and gratitude. Listen to “Choctaw County” HERE.
