After some listens, the new song is really interesting. As a standalone song it doesn't really help that it's so chaotic composition-wise, but the production is stellar and it plays great with dynamics. In the context of a full album, it's bound to work great.

Yeah, I have very similiar feelings after listening to it. Production's great but this song doesnt sound like a best pick for single, although I believe it will fit in nicely within the context of the album.

The dynamics and their trademark energy are there already, now waiting to hear more of the melodies that made their previous albums stand out for me

New single rules wtf

It was a ballsy move to come back with an ambitious track like that. And the production is unbelievable, unfortunately almost everything they released before is mastered like mud

OMG I DIDN'T NEW THEY WERE BACK LET'S GO



Edit: yeah weird choice for a single, slow and convoluted, but nice. Hope we'll get some bangers like on the Eps

New single sounds like an opener to me. I remember hearing MH for the first time and having a similar feeling on the opening track. Although I much prefer this over Before Me, it builds and explodes into pure Arcane Roots chaos. It's awesome!

Agreed with the three comments above. I think the production is nice but perhaps a bit too clean for my taste. Hyped for a full album

In a lot of ways it echoes the style of Curtains which is probably my favorite song by them so they really hit the spot for me

There’s almost certainly an album coming, would be mental to reform as a 5 piece just for 1 single (that sounds like a teaser) and 2 festival appearances. Patience brothers

Yeah ofc something will come, but they have been taking everything at a snails pace. Three months for a single song (that is great admittedly) is too long imo

Anyone else catching them at Milton Keynes for their first show back? I couldn't pass that opportunity, in a pub too you know that's gonna be good fun lol. Also seeing them at Trees the week after.

I wish brother, small chance some new material is coming (although from what I've seen on their socials, I'm not sure they have any new material).

But ngl I might get a bonus at work soon and spending it for UK trip to see them doesn't sound half bad, especially that I didn't get an opportunity to ever see them live before

Returning as a 5 piece to put out one song that sounds like an intro track would be a bizarre move. Doesn't look like they have anything coming soon but maybe they hit the studio after the return gigs in the Summer?
