wars announce new EP ‘As Within /// So Without’

WARS have announced a brand new EP!

The EP, titled As Within /// So Without, follows the band’s 2017 debut We Are Islands, After All, and is scheduled for release in January 2019.

Speaking about the title of the album, vocalist Rob Vicars says, “‘as above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…’ is a quote from Hermes, the Greek god of transitions and travel, Principle of Correspondence and is one of seven principles which make up a sort of guide to a more meaningful life. Some of us come to live with this constant monologue in our minds, one that berates us, and tells us we are not good enough over and over till we barely hear it any more. And even though we may not recognise it, that tumult is reflected onto the things in front of us. When all we feel is hell, hell is all we see. In this idea may also lie the answer to the thankless task we all have of living inside ourselves.” 

Alongside the EP announcement, the band have also released their new track In A Mirror, Dimly.

Speaking about the track, Rob Vicars adds, “I think we can get very used to the worst things that go on inside our heads. In A Mirror, Dimly is a song about self-reflection, on living in the chaos of a disquieted mind, and on how the thoughts we grow so accustomed to on the inside, refract onto the world around us.”

You can also catch the band live across the UK this November in support of SHVPES.

As Within /// So Without is set for release January 25th via A Wolf At Your Door Records.
