Death Bells return with new single “Take My Spirit Now”, less than a year after the release of their last album, Between Here & Everywhere, on Dais Records.
The new material, written and recorded in late 2022 after months of touring North America and Europe, introduces an unruly new sound; with jagged guitars careening through towering feedback and textured drums.
Produced during intimate, focused sessions at Paradise Studios in Anaheim, “Take My Spirit Now” explores themes of love, paranoia, and destiny. The band enlisted longtime friend Morgan Wright, of Australian label Burning Rose, to mix the EP, with Wright’s background in electronic music influencing the more programmatic elements of the release.
“Take My Spirit Now” is due out on July 21st via Dais Records.
Singer Will Canning had this to say about the single:
"Take My Spirit Now" was the first song that began to feel fully realized when we were recording late last year. There's something wild and dangerous about the sound of it, which inspired some of the chorus' lyrics. The song is more about a feeling than a specific time or place.
Of the video, director Collin Fletcher states:
"We’re portraying a simple analogy - the idea that sitting in the backseat, going along with the ride, is fun. Sometimes you’re on the ride alone, sometimes with someone else. Who’s driving? Doesn’t matter. Where are they going? Doesn’t matter."
