Stone Temple Pilots<\/a> wrestle with longing on their new song \u201cMiles Away,\u201d the latest single off their upcoming acoustic LP Perdida<\/em><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The LP, the band\u2019s second with new vocalist Jeff Gutt, was recorded mostly with vintage instruments, with violin and a marxophone \u2014 a form of zither \u2014 featuring prominently alongside the acoustic guitars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to Spin<\/em><\/a>, who debuted the track, Gutt said of \u201cMiles Away\u201d: \u201cThat was something Robert [DeLeo, bassist] brought in and he was excited about it. When Robert comes into the studio excited about an idea, you listen. So we were all ears. After that, the song kind of just fell into place, with all of us working it out. I really gravitated toward it because I can relate it to so many things that have happened in my life. So I tried to put a personal touch on it where I could.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Perdida<\/em>, which translates to \u201closs\u201d in Spanish, marks Stone Temple Pilots\u2019 first acoustic album. The band previously shared \u201cFare Thee Well<\/a>\u201d from the album, arriving this Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an album we\u2019ve been wanting to make for quite some time,\u201d Robert DeLeo previously said of the LP. \u201cMost of our songs start acoustically and we felt these would come across in the most genuine way if we kept them that way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gutt, who wrote the majority of Perdida<\/em>\u2019s lyrics, added: \u201cI was looking back at difficult moments in my life. I was trying to be vulnerable and that\u2019s a scary thing to do, but it\u2019s also kind of comfortable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An unplugged tour in support of Perdida<\/em> was unfortunately canceled<\/a> in January after Gutt announced he had to undergo surgery and rehabilitation following a herniated disc.<\/span><\/p>\n
