Today the band shared a new preview from the LP with the single “RIP Romeo,” featuring violinist Ray Suen (Childish Gambino, Lorde), who also contributed to the writing.<\/p>\n

Vocalist Matt Caughthran shared the following:<\/p>\n

‘RIP Romeo’ started with a melody that wouldn’t leave my head. I brought it to Ray and we knocked out a demo in an hour. We hadn’t written together in years, but we fell right back into rhythm. It came alive when the rest of the band got their hands on it.<\/p>\n

It’s a pretty direct song on the surface, but there’s a lot going on underneath. I’ve wanted to write about Romeo for years, but only if it came from a genuine place – not something forced or clich\u00e9. This one finally felt true, so I leaned in.”<\/p>\n

The deeper layer revealed itself when I couldn’t finish the lyrics. I had most of it written, but key lines were missing. I couldn’t focus – my aunt had recently passed away from cancer, and my family was grieving. That experience ended up shaping the song in ways I hadn’t anticipated. The lines ‘How could this happen to you, it’s cruel and it’s tragic’ and ‘Amor es muerte (love is death)’ are about her – they completed the song for me.<\/p>\n
