**Big Stir Records** is thrilled to kick of our 2023 release year of with a new 
single – and a truly grand video – from **MAPLE MARS**! “Anchors Aweigh” is the 
fourth track from the LA psych-pop legends’ hit album **SOMEONE’S GOT TO LISTEN**
to see release as standalone digital single, and like everything on the record it
does indeed demand the attention of the listener (and viewer) from the downbeat.
The new release is out Friday, January 20 and up for pre-order/pre-save everywhere
now ([https://orcd.co/maplemars-anchorsaweigh](https://orcd.co/maplemars-anchorsaweigh))
with the video premiering just before the street date.

In July of 2022, **MAPLE MARS** returned with their first album in over a decade,
and as 2023 dawns **SOMEONE’S GOT TO LISTEN** is adorning “Year’s Best Albums” lists
from the UK to South America, the EU, and of course back home in the US. That’s 
proof, if any was needed, that the new record is even bigger and and better than
the band’s legendary back catalog. The new single, a bonafide arena-sized rocker
that taps into the album’s themes of transition and travel, showcases the band (
singer-songwriter-guitarist **RICK HROMADKA**, guitarist **STEVE BERNS**, drummer**
RON PAK**, and bassist **JOE GIDDINGS**) at their captivating best. “I wrote this
song over a lonely Christmas a few years ago up in Lake Tahoe,” says **HROMADKA**.“
An old ‘salty dog’ sea captain is lost at sea looking for land. I guess that’s how
I felt celebrating Christmas alone for the first time in many years.” The propulsive
performance, though, is shot through with hope and adventure, sweeping the listener
along for the voyage.

The all-new video for “Anchors Aweigh”, set to premiere January 19 exclusively via**
ROCK & ROLL GLOBE**, brings the song’s nautical imagery alive quite literally – 
it just wouldn’t do to spoil the surprise! You’ll also see shots from the band’s
triumphant Los Angeles album release party show last year, and clips of the band
in the studio where the album came together. All evidence that wherever **Maple 
Mars** may roam, by land or sea or even across space and time, it’s always a journey
worth taking with them. If you haven’t heard **SOMEONE’S GOT TO LISTEN** (out now
on Vinyl, CD and Streaming worldwide), “Anchors Aweigh” will surely inspire you 
to set a course to your local record store… destination, one of the most celebrated
albums of 2022.
