They’ve also shared “From Home They Run,” the album’s first single. Touching on the record’s themes, “From Home They Run” explores living with anxiety and depression, and the moments where those struggles lift momentarily.
“There are three aspects that come to mind immediately when I think of this song,” vocalist Andy Maddox says. “The first is how stoked I was when I heard Daniel’s guitar part for the middle section, it was pure melody, pure tension, and I was so thankful it was on our record. The second is that I now had to add lyrics to it that succinctly expressed the essence of the part. Those of us who live with constant anxiety/depression know those almost divine moments when these issues stop for a moment, and one can feel relief even though they will come again. This is that part. The third is the end section, where the bass hits come crashing in, surrounded by driving octave chords that ebb/flow like an emotional wave breaking. I could ride that part until dawn.”
