Tarragon – has released his brand new single ‘Tucked In Despair’

Tarragon has released his brand new single ‘Tucked In Despair’, the latest song to be taken from this forthcoming second album Home At Cofa’s out May 1st.
 
‘Tucked In Despair’ finds Tarragon mastermind Callum Pickard addressing the feelings of settling into a serious relationship with soaring musings in the grand yet solemn track. It is rich in Callum’s warped electronics, gentle guitar and piano tones, alongside minimalist percussion and drum programming.
 
The song is bolstered by a beautiful brass section performed by Bon Iver’s CJ Camerieri (flugelhorn, french horn) and The 1975’s John Waugh (tenor saxophone). Additional percussion is performed by JT Bates of Big Red Machine as well as James McAlister (The National, Sufjan Stevens, Gracie Abrams) who also provides further electronics on the track.
 
The song has been produced, mixed and engineered by Callum, with additional production from the Latin-GRAMMY nominated Juan Ariza, while mastering engineers Greg Calbi (John Lennon, Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen) and Steve Fallone (Pet Shop Boys, The Strokes, Kurt Vile) have put their finishing touches to the track.
 
Regarding the single Callum says, “This was the first song I worked on for the album and spent a long time on it. It had many versions, but I’m extremely proud of the final product. I wrote it during my first romantic relationship. It’s a song about becoming familiar with the feelings and emotions that I felt as that relationship developed.”
