The song is "a euphoric and eerily prescient that captures the lingering reminiscence of physical contact," is out today (May 13th) via Counter Records. Buy it here.
Created entirely before the pandemic - and originally set to premiere during a pivotal, prime-time performance at Coachella last month - singer/songwriter/producer Stell built the song around the feeling of yearning born of out being separated from his partner during months on tour. That personal experience has since turned global, and the music of Big Wild continues to “flip the script on everything”.
As Stell explains, “I’m sure with the current state of the world ‘Touch’ will take on a different meaning than I intended but that’s the best part of writing music, seeing where a song goes. I can’t claim any foresight, but the feeling of deep longing and desire is universal. It’s interesting because I was writing from a personal place but this theme is something we’re feeling on a societal level right now. People need connection.”

Watch the lyric video for below, taking visual cues from Quentin Tarantino as it channels the warm, Western landscapes that influenced the track’s summer-ready sound.
