Ontario’s Dark Mean are back with, ‘Albatross’, the first single of the upcoming EP, Samuel the Phoenix, which is to be released on 25th February.
While the track is undoubtedly a Dark Mean song, it is a change from their previous work. “We’ve been digging into a new EP that was created while our lives transformed” they explain, “we travelled the world, started families and realized careers. The music we created naturally transformed as we did”. The result is a song that gradually builds from a mellow beginning to a noisy end, complete with horns and distorted guitars.
You can get ‘Albatross’ from the Dark Mean Bandcamp and watch the video, directed by Lee Skinner, below. If you are new to the band then be sure to check out their debut album here.
