(Denver, CO — October 1, 2025) — Dark alternative rock trio Volores returns with their sophomore album Shores of Scorpio, out February 20, 2026. The first single, “The Huntress,” arrives digitally on October 10, 2025, offering a glimpse of a record that fuses post-punk grit with unflinching lyricism.
Written as a love song from the perspective of the band’s since-passed black cat, “The Huntress” meditates on loyalty, freedom, and memory. Blending indie guitars and sweeping vocals with driving rhythms, the track captures both urgency and melancholy — a tribute that feels intimate yet universal, reminding us that the greatest loves are often the heaviest losses.
At its core, Shores of Scorpio is a raw chronicle of family secrets and fractured identity. Inspired by vocalist Shelby Maxwell’s discovery that her biological father was not the man who raised her, the album traces a year of reckoning, grief, and resilience. Soaring vocals rise over steady alt-rock foundations, shaping an album of heartbreak and triumph — a meditation on loss, discovery, and the tides that define us.
Maxwell reflects, “Shores of Scorpio is a deeply personal album that recounts the loss of identity I felt after unexpectedly learning my biological father was a different man through an Ancestry DNA test. Told chronologically through the year that followed, it allowed me to grieve what could have been while strengthening my resolve that no one can truly define who you are except yourself. It’s a story of betrayal, heartbreak, and resilience that explores the grey areas of the human condition.”
