The twin brother duo Amistat has shared new single, “stranger,” along with a visual played live from home. Written backstage at a gig in Rome, “stranger” features sparse instrumentation and the affirmation, “I’m not a stranger.”
The duo sat down and wrote this track “with the intention of exploring the aftermath of love that has been lost.” It focuses on “the bittersweet realization that even when two people drift apart, they can never truly return to being strangers after all they’ve shared.”
Josef and Jan share:
It’s a strange concept when you know somebody for such a long time—whether as good friends, partners, or even family—and something happens and you essentially become strangers.
Jan adds:
The song is a reminder that things don’t have to be like that. Even though you may be split up, we don’t have to act like we don’t know each other anymore or like the past never happened.
