New Jersey power trio Cathedral Ceilings are excited to release their new single and video for “Bill Berry.” “Bill Berry” is the latest single to be released from their upcoming sophomore album, La La La…Whatever! (Dromedary Records), out September 6, 2024. The album, which was recorded and co-produced by Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf, Aeon Station), can be pre-saved on all digital platforms now.
About the song and video, Ralph Malanga of Cathedral Ceilings shared:
“A recurring theme in my lyrics is writing about other songs. Maybe I overdo it, but some songs are so outstanding they deserve another song dedicated to them. This track reflects a nostalgic nod to the mixtape era. When I was younger, mixtapes were a major cultural touchstone—an analog way to connect and discover new music before the internet took over. ‘Bill Berry’ is like a snapshot of a classic mixtape: upbeat, featuring a fantastic walking bass line from Tommy, catchy melodies, and a soaring chorus. Bill Berry, REM’s drummer, was a staple on my mixtapes. I still have a milk crate full of them from high school. It’s a bit like ‘Do you like me? Check this box,’ but with a musical twist.”
