#new-music-release

We're at the point in our career where we've been to a lot of fancy parties in beautiful rooms with important people, and we know the particular sadness of realizing it doesn't make you feel better. We've learned the hard way that validation is hollow and we actually just want connection.

Perhaps an autobiographical tale about Antonoff's own wedding to his wife, Margaret Qualley, 'dirty wedding dress' features lyrics about an August gathering where 'the neighbors all lost their minds,' and they had to 'board up all the windows and shoot out the drones' trying to get a look.

Nocturnal Womb features two new songs that a press release says were "too dark and visceral to fit the story of Blackbraid III," as well as an acoustic version of the Blackbraid II song "Barefoot Ghost Dance on Blood Soaked Soil."

'Song of the Swamp' is rooted in where we're from. Driven by Florida and the raw aggression of nature, it's a heavy track built on tension and hostility.
