The highly anticipated follow-up to "Symptoms of Survival" (2023) has a date.
On September 26th, Portland's Dying Wish will release their new album, Flesh Stays Together, via SharpTone Records, continuing a deserved ascent through the ranks with a more expansive sound reflective of the band's sonic maturity and wealth of influence. Take the slow burn of lead single, I'll Know You're Not Around, for example — a slow burning number that transitions from vulnerable cleans to a pent up explosion. Like its predecessor, it's shaping up to be a moving composition and it'll follow the band on tour this fall (dates below).
Frontwoman Emma Boster comments on the album and lead single:
“'Flesh Stays Together' is a discovery, a journey of grief and a statement. Together we face the most unacceptable conditions in our lifetimes. Every tragedy becomes our own yet we have never been more separated. Flesh is a vicious wake up call. Slowly and painfully we approach the end we deserve.”
“The song expresses weakness and deep regret when faced with the ongoing pain on the surface of our dependency with one another. The unavoidable conflict, betrayal and abandonment that lie within the cracks of our society. An acceptance of grief."
Stream I'll Know You're Not Around below and pre-order the record via SharpTone.
