Ben Quad announce new EP ‘Ephemera’
BEN QUAD have announced a new EP!
Titled Ephemera, the upcoming EP from the Okahoma-based emo rock band is the follow-up to 2022’s I’m Scared That’s All There Is, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Pure Noise Records.
Produced by longtime collaborator CJ Cochran from OUTLINE IN COLOR, the recording process was broken up by the band going on tour. That break allowed for extra contemplation and consideration about what they were making. The result is a set of songs that combines the personal and the political to devastating effect.
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, BEN QUAD have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Your Face As An Effigy. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming EP, following on from You’ll Get Nothing And Like It, which was released last month.
Speaking about the new song, and its accompanying music video, the band shares, “lyrically, this is the most open-ended on the EP. This song is about finding solidarity within the group you identify with and overcoming the deceivers who seek to ruin you. The music video highlights this concept of solidarity by focusing on the brotherhood aspect of the band. The political undertones of the song title were purposeful in the sense that we wanted to paint a picture of overcoming a system that seeks to destroy us.”
