New SHARPTONE RECORDS signing dead7 are pleased to announce their new album LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU STILL GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE. It arrives July 11.
On the album, the St. Louis, MO quintet — Jason Kozik [vocals], Dexter Greer [guitar], Tim Quinn [guitar], Stephen Salyer [bass], and Zach Guinn [drums] — temper guitar-driven grooves with electronics, atmospheric keys, and evocative vocals. Simultaneously, death and romance become interchangeable, rotating around an axis of relatable emotional turbulence.
The band has shared the video for new single “HOLE.”
“The song depicts a relationship where you’re walking on eggshells,” says Kozik about the track. “You’re dancing around all of the hard topics. You feel like every little thing you do is never enough, but you love this person dearly. It’s very self-reflective. No matter the circumstances or what you might do to please your partner or make them happy, you’ll end up feeling lower than you ever have.”
Regarding the album and its over-arching theme, Kozik says, “It’s a look into the highs, lows, and the overwhelming feelings and effects that a relationship can have on a person. There are harsh realities that a lot of people go through when they are with their partner, and they might have a difficult time expressing those feelings. We hope to provide some comfort and solace in the fact that they are not alone.”
Mission most definitely accomplished.
The album also features guest spots from Invent Animate’s Marcus Vic and vocalist Aaron Matts.
