Stone Temple Pilots have shared the official video for “Fare Thee Well”, the debut single from their forthcoming first-ever acoustic album Perdida. A second song, titled “Three Wishes,” is out as well.
The album was recorded at drummer Eric Kretz‘s Bomb Shelter Studios in Los Angeles on vintage instruments, including flute, alto saxophone, guitarrón, viola, cello and vintage keyboards.
Initially, the record was meant to be only an EP, but the new approach inspired the group to write more, especially about heartbreak and grief. Singer Jeff Gutt said about his lyrics, “I was looking back at difficult moments in my life. I was trying to be vulnerable, and that’s a scary thing to do, but it’s also kind of comfortable.”
Perdida is out on February 10th and will be supported by STP's first-ever acoustic tour, starting February 5th in Vancouver.
