Trevor Sensor shares new song ‘Villains and Preachers’

Trevor Sensor has shared a new track, ‘Villains and Preachers’. His second release, it’s the flip-side to debut track ‘The Reaper Man’.

Channeling the zoned-in realism of American playwright Arthur Miller, and the small-town weirdness of David Lynch - two of Trevor Sensor’s chief influences - it’s Trevor Sensor’s striking, dust-sprayed vocal that takes centre-stage on ‘Villains and Preachers’. Tired of sofa-surfing to escape his sleepy town, rolling past laughing windows, and local gossip, Trevor Sensor’s folk, alright, and despite his references to television, and 1950s glancebacks, there’s a timeless quality to his songwriting.

“This song was written after a long walk home from the bar a little after two in the morning,” Trevor Sensor tells us, expanding on some of the inspiration behind ‘Villains and Preachers’. “A lost dog followed me for a couple blocks and I sang to him. He got sick of me after a while, though, and took off. So the song’s about that, my friend Jeremy and a couple other things.”
