"This record, more than any other I've been a part of in my lifetime, feels like it cost something to make," vocalist Matthew Schufman explains. "Paid for with a whole lot of sorrows, with hours of rumination, with hope, and the persistent ache of a person suddenly surmising that it's all lost, whatever 'it' is."

On Moonflower, the quartet explore the fraught relationship between acknowledging the unrelenting march of time, and looking back fondly upon the past. Today they share the new single and album opener “Nowhere”, a track the band’s Matthew Schufman says “captures the sweet spot of what we frequently try to accomplish with a song – nostalgic, anthemic, longing, and bittersweet.”

1. Nowhere

2. Spellsong

3. Rose Vine

4. Another One Waits

About the new record the duo said: Took us 18 months and a lot of work until this new album reached its final stage. 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐒 is an album that represents a gateway into the virtual world of illusion, one that modern man has appropriated and irrevocably strives to keep as an extension of his physical being that is lost in a dream of constructed contentedness.

New Entry: Whimsical Release New Single "Crash and Burn"

Indiana shoegaze/dream pop band Whimsical have released their new single "Crash and Burn".

The song is taken from their fourth studio album 'Melt', out on April 1st via Shelflife Records (USA) and Through Love Records (Europe). Pre-order your copy here.

About Crash and Burn - "As the songwriting for Melt was coming to an end, it became obvious that an upbeat and energetic song was needed to balance out the overall feel of the album.  The first impression sounds simple enough, but beneath the song’s exterior lies many layers of sound that wouldn’t be misplaced on an album like Siamese Dream.  Crash and Burn sounds as equally 2022 as it does 1993 and there’s an excitement there that we’ve tried to capture on all of our albums.  This song is about the rollercoaster of emotions that can sometimes come along with a relationship, especially if things are moving too fast.  It highlights how quickly things can plummet from high to low, especially if there is miscommunication and confusion, which leads to uncertainty about what’s next."

It all seemed very apocalyptic to me and fit in with this strange world of the planet of the youth that I was starting to build in my head. Sometimes we're our own worst enemies in our most meaningful relationships but we don't see it until everything has gone up in flames."
