Oakland trio Night School is amping up to release its debut album Blush on June 17 and is paving the way with a new single, "These Times." The fuzzy track marries '60s girl-group vibes with the lo-fi sound of '90s garage rock, and we can't get enough of it. On the surface it all sounds so sweet, but a closer listen reveals a less than satisfactory situation.

The song reflects when Night School front-woman Alexandra Morte felt her life was at a standstill: "During a time when I felt that my life didn't have momentum," she confesses. And while a move and an enrollment in a new school were on the horizon, it became a waiting game that left Morte feeling stuck. As for the outcome? "It eventually alleviated itself when I was finally able to make the move and get my life going in the direction I wanted," she says. "I wrote this song to express those feelings and to help myself realize that sometimes you have to wait a little before things get better."

Time takes time... But happens to pass ever more so pleasantly when soundtracked by "These Times." Take an exclusive listen to the track below:
