Sasscore legends SeeYouSpaceCowboy have shared yet another taste of their upcoming third studio full-length with “The End To A Brief Moment Of Lasting Intimacy“. Check out the single’s stylistic music video below.
“Don’t mistake lust for love” says vocalist Connie Sgarbossa. “Don’t think that the presence of others can make you feel whole. We are angels with faded halos clinging to the doomed pleasures that wrap us together in an indulgent embrace, only to lose the harmony, unbid, and move to the next temporary comfort. Even if it feels like the person in front of you can save you from the isolating feelings of being alone in this world, it’s only temporary.”
“Writing music is cathartic to me,” she says. “Getting things on paper is the only way I know how to deal with stuff. So to have that happen two weeks later almost backed up why I wrote the album – it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. It reinforced that I wrote the album that I needed to write.
Reflecting on the themes of the new album, The Romance Of Affliction, Connie comments “The album is a reflection on the last couple of years of our lives; It serves as a tongue in cheek, but genuine look at what it means to struggle through adversity while trying to find some beauty in it all… It’s about making art about parts of our lives that are ugly and how that seems to resonate the most with people.” Sgarbossa expands by adding “…what it means to be in love with someone as well as the substances that are killing you both, what it means to use sex as a way to try to feel content and loved but without a true connection that instead makes you feel more isolated. The poetic nature of writing songs about addiction only to almost die of an overdose a few weeks later. It’s a pretty coat of paint on a crumbling structure.”
The Romance Of Affliction will be available November 5th via Pure Noise, and you can find pre-orders for the record here. Further, you can view the album’s official artwork and track listing below. For all things SeeYouSpaceCowboy, metal and music in general, keep it locked on Boolin Tunes.
