"touch grass" by SIAS: A Chill Pop Escape Rooted in Nature and Nostalgia
We’re thrilled to announce that our new single “touch grass” is officially out today on all streaming platforms! 🌱✨
▶️ Listen now
This track is our most grounded, nature-forward release yet, blending acoustic guitars, bamboo snares, ambient textures, and lush synths to create what PopFiltr calls a “perfect summer escape” in their editorial feature on the single. Read the full PopFiltr piece here.
The second verse of “touch grass” was written while sitting on a beach near Lake Erie—the actual spot where we later shot the official lyric video, now live on YouTube:

“SIAS has a way of folding intention into every texture and lyric. There’s emotional honesty here, but it’s dressed in the kind of production that makes you want to turn the volume up and drive with the windows down.” – PopFiltr
Instruments played on this track include the ROLI Seaboard and LUMI Keys, and we’re honored that ROLI just featured us on their blog for using expressive tech to make electronic music feel more human again. They go deep on our writing process and gear choices for “touch grass” and beyond. Check out the full ROLI feature here.
“‘touch grass’ is a track that balances sonic experimentation with organic warmth… it’s this hybrid style that makes SIAS so compelling.” – ROLI
To celebrate the release, we’re also dropping exclusive “touch grass” merch, available now on our website:
Whether you’ve been with us since “Si-Fi” or you’re discovering us today—thank you. We hope “touch grass” meets you exactly where you are and helps you feel something real.
With love,
– SIAS (Haley + Josias)
