‘A Little More’ follows a powerful cover of The Lumineers’ ‘Salt And The Sea’

We are going to cut right to the chase….. Massachusetts alt-rock band, Jennifer Tefft & The Strange, have caught lightning in a bottle, with their otherworldly , dark and mysterious , “A little More” ( Strange Version) You can listen to the amazing track Here

This song was written during a point in my relationship where I felt like it was too one-way,” Tefft says. “Where I really wanted ‘A Little More’ from my significant other — communication, time, emotion, etc. – but I was afraid to say it out loud. I think it is a pretty common theme in relationships.”

Combine the past few years of cultural and societal anxiety bubbling over, an increasingly common feeling amongst us of never being truly satisfied, and The Strange’s newly crystallized lineup – Tefft on vocals and guitar joined by longtime collaborator and guitarist John Parrillo; Stephen “Sharky” Beccia on bass; and new recruit Chis Jost on drums, with former drummer Tim Provost appearing on the recording of – and “A Little More” evolved into something a little more sinister, a little more fierce, and a little more demanding.  

“A Little More” was originally written by Tefft during the Covid lockdown a half-decade ago, but the powerhouse vocalist and acclaimed musician was never satisfied with its overall composition and tone. 

“A Little More” also acts as a companion track to “Salt and the Sea,” with a strong bass and drum groove, atmospheric guitars, and a driving chorus led by Tefft’s captivating vocals. It’s a swirl of moods that draws from post-punk and underground indie and alt-rock, while retaining Jennifer Tefft & The Strange’s penchant for hypnotic compositions that straddle a line between grit and glitz.  

“The sound of ‘A Little More’ and ‘Salt and the Sea’ is the result of the band’s new lineup,” says Beccia. “The ongoing collaboration and input of each musician and their creative sound is what makes The Strange. It’s like a chemical reaction. You add or subtract new elements and the outcome will be different. Since Strange Beginnings, we continue to explore new possibilities but keep the baseline cemented. Meaning, new and exciting songs coming from a band that still sounds familiar.” 

The track, was produced, mixed and engineered by Bob St. John. Its forceful sound was captured 37’ Productions in Rockland, MA, with mastering done by Adam Matza at Magic Ears Mastering.
