Oversize announce debut album ‘Vital Signs’
OVERSIZE have announced their debut album!
Titled Vital Signs, the upcoming album from the Southwest-based alternative rock/shoegaze band is their debut full-length album, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via SharpTone Records.
Speaking about the upcoming debut album, the band shares, “it feels very surreal to finally be releasing our debut full-length. Pretty much since the start of the band we knew we wanted to be an ‘album band’. Even through we had released two EPs previously we’ve always had enough material written to make a full length, so we knew after the second EP it was time to make the jump. Recorded in under two weeks at The Ranch Production House, we closely collaborated with producer Lewis Johns to create something we’re really proud of.
It was always our aim to write an album where each song has its own identity yet still works holistically as an album, we were really conscious of the album not sounding to ‘samey’ yet the same time not feeling like a playlist of random songs. We’re still so honoured that SharpTone shares our passion and vision for the record and can’t wait for people to finally hear it.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, OVERSIZE have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming debut; the title track Vital Signs. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Fall Apart.
Speaking about the new single, the band shares, “while Vital Signs is technically the title track of the album, it was originally written as an album closer and from start to finish was written comfortably in under an hour. I think the simplicity of the song and the free-flowing structure combined with extra production elements – drum loops and super saturated and effect heavy guitars – give this song a unique feel within our catalogue of songs. Lyrically much like the rest of the album, the song revolves around a journey of grief and the acceptance of loss. We felt the lyric Vital Signs was the perfect summary for the album as a whole.”
