The video for “Void Of Light” was directed by Chase Warren.
Ryan Osterman shared this about the song: “I’m not sure what it is about our nature as musicians but at our core, we love to tinker. Whenever we get something new, we have to set it up and hit record just to see what happens. For ‘Void of Light’ in particular, it was a new reverb pedal from a company called ‘Dr. Scientist.’ It’s called ‘the atmosphere’ and I feel its name is pretty self-explanatory. This pedal truly felt so expressive and opened up so many creative avenues for us to revisit over and over again. Once it entered the studio, it just didn’t get turned off. ‘The Atmosphere’ really had a tremendous impact on the first half of the song and I’m so thankful this pedal found i’s way to us. It truly is so customizable, down to the finest of details, and it really allowed us to create as musicians. This was definitely the first song we ever played as a group during rehearsal for Dimensional Bleed and it just felt so new and raw. You can just tell when you’re performing something with your friends that it’s resonating and everyone just feels so connected. This is one in particular we’re really excited to play live.”
The band will head out on a West Coast tour starting November, with support from SOM and Grivo.

Björk shared this about the album: “each album always starts with a feeling that i try to shape into sound. this time around the feeling was landing on the earth and digging my feet into the ground. it was also woven into how i experienced the “now”. this time around 7 billion of us did it together nesting in our homes quarantining being long enough in one place that we shot down roots. my new album “fossora” is about that. it is a word i made up. it is the feminine of fossore (digger, delver, ditcher), so in short it means “she who digs” (into the ground). so sonically it is about bass, heavy bottom-end, we have 6 bass clarinets and punchy sub.”
The first single off the album “Atopos” will be released soon(ish).

The video for “Backwash” was animated and directed by Mortis Studio.
Dara Kiely días this about it: “The initial idea for the whole album was that it would loosely sound like a dream. We didn’t really stick to the brief but it lead us down different sonic avenues. ‘Backwash’ is one of the few tracks where the words represent a dreamlike circumstance. The lyrics are from a stream of consciousness rant, weird imagery and all that. The track is about attraction, fancying someone and not knowing what to say exactly. It’s an indirect love song, knowing you like someone but can’t quite articulate it. Thinking that you have already expressed your feelings, but like waking up from a dream you’ve forgotten what you actually have said or felt.”
MorMor has shared a new song, “Seasons Change”.
Bing Cao was in charge of the video for the song. MorMor said this about the song: “‘Seasons Change’ is a song about the constraints of time. The sentiment is that if you are to live once why not give into your natural desires.”
