Heir - 'As Long As I Can't See You'

Combining an eighties grove with warm pop harmonies, UK based Heir return with new single ‘As Long As I Can’t See You’.

2021 was a great triumph for pop-rock outfit, Heir. Airtime on Radio 2 was swiftly followed by a sell out UK tour and the launch of their very own music and arts magazine, Blueprint. Now, with the winds of success in their sails they treat us to yet another taste of tongue-in-cheek songwriting with new single 'As Long As I Can’t See You'.

“I think when an ex-girlfriend unexpectedly turns up to one of your shows with her new boyfriend it’s sort of crying out to be written about. It’s probably the swiftest lyric we’ve ever written actually. The experience was so vivid and bizarre that we found ourselves being happy to be quite literal with the storytelling - it opened up a new approach to songwriting really i.e. if you can tell it exactly how it was then do."
