Hands Like Houses release new song ‘Chemicals’
HANDS LIKE HOUSES have released a brand new song!
The new song, titled Chemicals, is taken from the Australian post-hardcore band’s upcoming new album, A T M O S P H E R I C S, which is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Civilians.
Speaking about the new single, vocalist Josh Raven shares, “Chemicals is about the uncontrollable emotions that come from an imbalance within yourself. For many years I lived inside my head without seeking help or diagnosis and accept that the way I’m feeling is the way it is. It could be chemical, sometimes it’s spiritual but ultimately it’s difficult to be a human in the world today. We isolate ourselves and accept our pain without looking for another perspective.”
Listen to Chemicals here:
The upcoming album is a 16 track double album, made of four Volumes; Tropo(sphere), Strato(sphere), Meso(sphere) and Thermo(sphere). Each volume allowed the band to build and shape themselves into a new version, led by frontman Josh Raven. “The idea for Atmospherics came during one of the low parts of our career,” say bassist Joel Tyrrell. “Everything we knew had been swept away, and we really didn’t know if we would continue on as a band so we had to dig deep together and talk about what we wanted. Some of our happiest moments have been with the band so we wanted to re-shape our future.
The concept of A T M O S P H E R I C S is about learning how to fly again, on their own terms refreshed and as an independent band. “The idea of floating through the different layers of the atmosphere to see what we could all see, hear and create together painted such a nice picture for how things were flowing with the introduction of our new singer, Josh. Volume wasn’t the goal, but the spark had been lit and the idea’s were flowing, so we just kept adding layers to the Atmosphere. We have removed the pressure we used to place on ourselves. The songs didn’t have to fit a sound for an album, it can just exist as a moment in time, for that particular layer of the atmosphere.”
