Speaking of the track, singer Mike Sugars says “This track is everything we wanted it to be. We were so stoked Colin said yes when we asked him to be part of this song because we wrote the song (and every other song with a feature) with that specific person in mind. We gave Colin free rein over his feature, we’re all long-time fans of the band and this song is a dream come true for us. I’ve been sober just short of two years now, and I’m not goin’ back. There’s a line in this song that sums up the whole thing for me, “I will be the sword forged by the love I swore.” When I made the decision for sobriety, I was realizing that I wasn’t living out the potential of who I truly want to be. I was just sedating myself, and the love I have for myself and the people in my life has vastly deepened by proxy.”
The 6 track EP continues its complex, uncompromising and emotionally charged sound with guest features from Colin Young (Hardlore podcast), George Clarke (Deafheaven), and Crystal Pak (Initiate)
”You’ll Know It Was Me is a short record about love. Love looks like a lot of things, and each track touches on it in its own way.” says Mike Sugars. “People close to me have heard about me wanting to make this kind of record for a long time. I just hadn’t grown enough to realise the dream of it, and I knew it had to be a Church Tongue record. I’ve been with this band, these guys, for the majority of my life now. I’ve made records with other bands, and so have the other guys, but this idea felt sacred to my beginnings. I knew this record was in us, was who we are, and I’m honoured to have made it with my brothers.”
