The track comes ahead of their album, &#8216;Constellation&#8217;, set for release on the 12th of June, via Mojave Beach Records.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landers, California, is located in the midst of the Mojave Desert, and, as a result of its close proximity to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Integratron\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Integratron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Integratron<\/a>, and Giant Rock, and the fact that a lot of their 2632 residents are involved in the UFO culture of the area, the locals are known as Landroids. It&#8217;s also a neat name for a band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comprising Cooper Gillespie on vocals and bass, and Greg Gordon on drums and sequences &#8211; both professional musicians and veteran performers who have been touring the world for decades &#8211; LANDROID is in tribute to the town they&#8217;ve made their home. They&#8217;re joined on &#8216;Constellation&#8217; by Joshua Tree songwriter, Nigel Roman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Say My Name&#8217; is ethereal and mystical, opening with percussion, soon followed by an enticing bass rhythm that will quickly draw you in. By the time Gillespie&#8217;s vocals start, you&#8217;re fully hooked, and if you&#8217;re anything like me, that&#8217;s just fine, because you had no intention of leaving anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a nostalgic, psychedelic element to their sound; it swirls all around like a desert wind, very fitting for the band&#8217;s location, and despite the fact that the members of LANDROID  spent years immersed in the punk and rock scene of Los Angeles. With &#8216;Say My Name&#8217; it&#8217;s as if they&#8217;re holding up a musical mirror on the landscape all around them, calling listeners to lose themselves in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get swallowed up by &#8216;Say My Name&#8217; below, and find out more about LANDROID and their music online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/landroidmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/landroidmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@landroidmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/7DIJjtbZhJdqXSVSFfBWyP?si=C2vX-YKwS_ao_sq_my7YtA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, and their official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landroidmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_31594\"  width=\"640\" height=\"480\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"480\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qCC3r9-OHQQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Say My Name\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qCC3r9-OHQQ\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released on the 24th of March, &#8216;Say My Name&#8217; is the new single from High Desert based duo, LANDROID.
