SAFFRON
the spicy-single

out now

"Saffron" is a captivating blend of playful storytelling and heartfelt emotion, born out of an unlikely source of inspiration. The band describe the tune as having emerged from a "light-hearted conversation about the skyrocketing price of saffron", the song personifies saffron as a character—someone who, like the spice, is both beautiful and rare, yet ultimately destructive.

With its unique mix of humour and heartbreak, this tune captures the complexity of relationships, diving deeper into the exploration of love and betrayal.—how someone can be as precious and alluring as the spice, yet just as capable of leaving a bitter aftertaste.
