Timeless EP.
Defy and
Earthandsky in 2018 and 2019, respectively. These records were the band s first since the departure of singer Austin Carlile and, sonically, Obsolete carries on in a similar vein as these Aaron Pauley-fronted efforts.
Beyond the churning grooves, melodic overtones and harsh/clean singing counterparts is a slightly cinematic sense that overtakes the bridge on Obsolete as orchestral bits offer a point of reflection on the thought-provoking single. There s an old idiom about what you re supposed to do when life gives you lemons. Sadly, to disappoint, this wasn t exactly that, said Pauley of the EP. We started writing this EP shortly before the initial lockdowns in spring of 2020, before we knew that our world was about to become a radically different place. A lot of these songs were born from a place of wondering how we d fit into 2020 and beyond, both as adults in our 30s as well as a band that s a decade into our existence.
