Los Angeles-based indie rock band Elle Belle is excited to release their latest single “Stranger In A Strange Land” on Little Record Company. The track explores the emotional distance between individuals and the struggle to find a connection in an increasingly disconnected world.

On the song, Elle Belle’s Christopher Pappas shares, “I feel a loneliness in the distance between two people. I’m typing these words now trying to describe a feeling, and you’re reconstructing the feeling whole cloth in your own head. There will never be a way to show exactly how I feel. This chasm of semantics between us is always there. Language is a rickety bridge, and we try to cross it over the span. But then, in the sea of darkness, you find someone who makes you feel like they’re standing right next to you holding your hand.”

The release of “Stranger In A Strange Land” follows last month’s single, “Selene,” and its accompanying band-created lyric video. 

“Selene” explores themes of deception and belief through a series of vivid vignettes. Elle Belle’s Christopher Pappas shares, “’Selene’ is a song about grifters and the people they prey on. It examines how our hope can be weaponized against us.”

Pappas continues with a personal touch, “My wife, Mary Beth, thinks I have a ghost that has followed me around my whole life named Selene. While I don’t believe in ghosts, her playful belief inspired this song. It’s fascinating how belief can shape our experiences, whether they’re real or imagined.”
