Brand New are slowly building to something big. With news of a potential break up and incripted t-shirts, to a full North American tour with Modest Mouse, to talk of a new album and the release of re-recorded demo tracks and now three new songs. Something big is going to happen... eventually. But for now, we have "Out Of Range."
The newest track, which was actually leaked a few years back, "Out Of Range," is a little different than the hard hitting and aggressive "Mene" and the Your Favorite Weapon meets The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me infused "I Am A Nightmare."
"Out Of Range" is very Modest Mouse-esque which only fits perfectly with the current tour. The song is drum-less song which moves slowly and steady forward thanks to Lacey's low vocals and clean guitar which leads into some shouted backing vocals. It's dark, emotional, and completely Brand New. This band never ceases to blow me away.
Being my favorite band, I may be speaking with a bias, but there is only one other band (Radiohead) that has been able to create new and incredible music, and release records the way they want to. Brand New continuously surpass themselves with each release and with every performance. I could go on and on but just go listen for yourself. And see them live before you can't.
"Out Of Range" has been released as a B-side exclusive on the Mene 7" which is out now Via Procrastinate! Music Traitors. 3 Demos, Reworked and the "I Am A Nightmare" 12" is also out now.
See both Brand New and Modest Mouse on the few shows they have left on tour!
