Dying Wish today announce details of their new album Flesh Stays Together – set for release September 26th on SharpTone Records [album artwork / tracklist below]. The Portland, Oregon based band has also released the album’s first single “I’ll Know You’re Not Around,” alongside an official music video co-directed by Eric Richter and the band’s own Pedro Carrillo.
Elaborating on the new record, vocalist Emma Boster shared “Flesh Stays Together is a discovery, a journey of grief and a statement. Together we face the most unacceptable conditions in our lifetimes. Every tragedy becomes our own yet we have never been more separated. Flesh is a vicious wake up call. Slowly and painfully we approach the end we deserve.”
Expanding upon “I’ll Know You’re Not Around” she noted, “The song expresses weakness and deep regret when faced with the ongoing pain on the surface of our dependency with one another. The unavoidable conflict, betrayal and abandonment that lie within the cracks of our society. An acceptance of grief.”
Carrillo added, “It opens up where this band can go and how vulnerable things can be. Whether it is by our own accord or not, life is both vulnerable and artistic. Even in the most confusing of times.”
