Kanadia announce their new album & release new single

Alternative rock band Kanadia have announced their third album The Fire That’s Tearing Through Our Home for release on September 26th.
 
The album showcases an abundance of dreamlike rich soundscapes, massive hooks, and haunting melodies throughout its expansive 50-minute journey examining the fragility and beauty of human emotion.
 
This is demonstrated in the propulsive pensive anthem and brand new single ‘Too Late Now’. The song balances between delicate guitar parts and powerful indie riffs, lush harmonies and thunderous choruses, conveying the contrasting dark emotion among beautiful periods of bright clarity felt throughout the track.
 
Regarding the single vocalist, guitarist and songwriter James Bettis says, “‘Too Late Now’ came out of me fast — one of those songs that felt more like an emotional release than something I “wrote”. It explores regret, identity, and the weight of choices, asking how far we keep pushing ourselves before it becomes too much. There’s a deep personal undercurrent for me in this one — about being a musician, dealing with anxiety and depression, and mourning a version of myself I’ve lost along the way. I wanted the verses to feel exposed and fragile, and the choruses to feel like letting go. It’s a song about holding on and having to accept that some things can’t be undone — that sometimes, it really is too late now.”

‘Too Late Now’ follows the release of lead single ‘Going Nowhere’, a bold soaring track that once again demonstrates the masterful use of musical space and atmosphere Kanadia deliver in the new album among its deep lyrical themes.
 
The Fire That’s Tearing Through Our Home finds Bettis soul-searching about his place in life; reflecting on the past, the present, and the unknown while dealing with severe anxieties, yet approaching these themes in a new way to previous records as he explains, “Overall, even though there are darker subject matters, I think the album feels more positive; there’s an acceptance which is different for me, because normally it’s always been quite a negative take. I feel this is a cleansing of the previous record, a more positive take; a light at the end of the tunnel… almost.”
