Inspired by the morning after a big night out, “Don’t Ask” by Oya Paya is another track from their forthcoming album Slumped Up (December 1 on Tri-Tone Music).
The band says this of the of the song,
“Forged in the fires of our crusty morning angst. This song is for those of us who can barely string a sentence together before 11am. If you’ve ever had your day ruined by an early morning bust-up then you’ll know the feeling of the song right away. Ultimately the motivation behind this tune was to make a smoky 90’s alternative doom groove.”
The dreamy and floating “Don’t Ask” is the quietness needed after the big night out. With its soft guitars and vocals, the song captures that need for recovery, a moment of reflection, and the quietude and stillness.
