Fly Over States announce new EP ‘Ghosts’
FLY OVER STATES have announced a new EP!
Titled Ghosts, the new EP from the Montana post-hardcore/screamo/metalcore outfit follows 2023’s Anti-Aircraft EP and is scheduled to be released in May this year via their new label home of Fever Ltd.. It was recorded with Phil Yanzick of HIBERNATOR in Basin, Montana, and mixed and mastered by Abe Anderson and Kris Crummett respectively.
In addition to the announcement of the EP, the band have released its lead single 40 Stripes Minus One.
Speaking about the story told in the track, and across the EP, vocalist/guitarist Gunnar Stephan comments, “The first three songs are about workplace related accidents, specifically the Piet de Wit wind turbine accident and the Paria diving incident, wanting to somewhat memorialize the people that lost their lives and to curse the unfortunate capitalistic machine that put them into those situations. I wanted listeners to be able to put themselves into the story as well, adding a lot of introspection into my own interpretation of the aforementioned incidents. 40 Stripes Minus One is a reference to an ancient/biblical torture method of receiving lashings. This song is about survivor’s guilt, and lacking accountability on the part of the Paria company.”
