Gently rolling through with a simple chord progression and wall of hooks is Options’s new track “Waiting”. The open heart lyric style builds a memorable refrain in the listener, nodding their head along to the guitar driven pace of this tune. It’s roaming in the best way, searching for what we need most in ourselves and entirely elegant in its approach.

Take a listen and view the music video below! “Waiting” is off of Vivid Trace, which will be out on Sooper Records on September 14th. Here’s a word from the artist about the track:

“‘Waiting’ is about self-sufficiency and learning compassion toward myself, and how those things are tied together. The video idea was pretty impulsive – watched like an hour of those Time Life country music infomercials on a recent tour, and everyone in the room was laughing hard at some of the shots. Since I’d never done a music video before, I thought humorous visuals would be a nice way to balance out a solemn tune. Glad I got to work with Low-Moon Productions on this, as I’ve been a big fan of their work for as long as they’ve been doing it!”
