Johanna and Klara Söderberg wrote "Waitress Song" for Stay Gold, the Swedish duo's third album, out in June 2014, and it's one of the places where the record's bigger ambitions show. On earlier albums they had kept the arrangements to what three people could play on stage; here Klara's voice and guitar sit in a room full of strings, with violins, violas and cellos swelling around them.
Mike Mogis, back as producer after The Lion's Roar, also engineered and mixed it and plays pedal steel and percussion, with Niclas Lindström on percussion as well. Nate Walcott adds organ and trumpet, and Benkt Söderberg plays bass.
