Drown This City announce new EP ‘Colours We Won’t Know’
DROWN THIS CITY have announced a new EP!
Titled Colours We Won’t Know, the upcoming new EP from is the brand new studio release from the Australian metalcore band and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via UNFD. The new EP is the follow-up to 2019’s Alpha // Survivor EP.
While their 2019 release had been the proving ground for vocalist Alex Reade‘s strength and overcoming, Colours We Won’t Know finds the vocalist winding back the clock and standing face to face with the past torment she thought had been put to rest. “I think being in lockdown in Melbourne left us no choice but to face whatever we were running from, and that time drew every bit of honesty with myself out of me,” she says. “It was very confronting to feel such sadness in me again, but I worked through all of the disgust and shame I’d been suppressing, and we’ve written our saddest and bleakest songs to date because of it.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, DROWN THIS CITY have released a new song from the upcoming EP; Borderline Existence. The new song is the second song to be lifted from the upcoming EP, following on from April’s New Burn Order.
Speaking about the new song, vocalist Alex Reade shares how the track’s haunting scenario – depicting a person’s out of body experience watching on at themselves trapped in an asylum – represents the agitation and anger she’s experienced feeling forced to pursue a certain path due to external pressure placed on her.
“I’ve found myself wearing thin because of this, wondering what I was fighting against and how long could I keep going for. This song reflects the battle I feel to succeed against all odds, fuelled by sheer terror that my life will be for nothing. The line ‘I really thought that I’d amount to something, I should have known you’d get me in the end’ really reflects the exhaustion I feel wondering if I can keep going with this fight to be heard and understood. I’m exhausted, always pushing against, trying to win, trying to get ‘there’ and I just don’t know where that is anymore.”
