SeeYouSpaceCowboy release new single "Rhythm and Rapture" featuring Nothing,Nowhere
Post -hardcore band SeeYouSpaceCowboy, have teamed up with Nothing,Nowhere on their brand new single "Rhythm and Rapture", out now via Pure Noise Records.
The song is a dynamic track that shows a more melodic side to the band's typically brutal sound, before descending into a mix of guttural screams and shrieking guitars.
Vocalist Connie Sgarbossa says:
“This song was created out of a desire to mix 00's dancey indie rock like Foals, Cut Off Your Hands, and Bloc Party with a post-hardcore sound. We wanted to create a song in a style we've never done before that really reflects the variety of what we grew up listening to. Outside of just nostalgia, wanted to make something that was more focused on being dancey and fun like parts we had all the way back in the Songs For The Firing Squad era, but with less dissonance and more embracing the joy of simplicity. Even though it sounds like a wild departure it has its roots in stuff we have done with SYSC in the past, just expanded and with a different flavor"
"Rhythm and Rapture" serves as a follow-up to previous single "Chewing The Scenery". The songs were produced by Matt Squire and mark the first new music since SeeYouSpaceCowboy's second full-length, The Romance Of Affliction.
The Romance Of Affliction was a brutal and emotional assault on the senses, bristling with the sound of total collapse, of darkness closing in, of trying to escape – through drugs, through death, through whatever means necessary – from the horrors of existence. Not just metaphorically, either. Two weeks after the band finished recording it, Sgarbossa nearly died from a drug overdose. It was, she admits, a kind of physical manifestation of everything the album's 13 songs are about.
"Rhythm and Rapture" is a departure from the dark and heavy sound of The Romance Of Affliction, but it's still a powerful and emotional song. It's a reminder that SeeYouSpaceCowboy are a band who are constantly evolving and pushing themselves to try new things.
"Rhythm and Rapture" is a sign of great things to come from SeeYouSpaceCowboy. It's a song that shows the band's versatility and their willingness to experiment. It's a song that will leave you wanting more.
