News : Tasmania’s Départe premiere new song “Grief Echoes (Golden Scars)”

By on September 2, 2016

We have been watching our inbox closely for another Départe debut. Back in July we debuted the first new single from the Tassie band’s debut Failure, Subside, which was a re-recording of an older demo track. Now we’re stoked to have one you definitely haven’t heard before; “Grief Echoes (Golden Scars)”.

“Our new track ‘Grief Echoes (Golden Scars)’ speaks of both regret and restoration – the suffocating guilt of wounds inflicted through one’s own malice and inaction, counterpointed by the sweetness of renewal and rebirth. Things that once were dead are seeing new life, and old wounds are transformed into things of beauty. ‘Grief Echoes (Golden Scars)’ is sonically crushing, sinister, and hypnotic, trailing the lyrics throughout from overwhelming darkness, through contemplation, into cathartic emotional release.”

Failure, Subside is out October 14th through Season of Mist, with Aussie pre-orders available through the band’s local store along with some killer shirt designs.
