Nashville, TN — Emo band, The Low Blow, are sharing their dynamic new full-length album, Forest For The Trees on October 24. Accompanying the release of the record comes the focus track, “This Isn’t a Seance, It’s a Family Reunion.” Forest For The Trees features recently released singles “Forest For The Trees” and “Dead Nettles.”

“”This Isn’t a Seance, It’s a Family Reunion” ties together the familiarity that exudes from the band’s first released single of this era, “Forest For the Trees.” With this new track, The Low Blow hones in on their raw yet angsty side while lacing it in memorable hooks.

“”This Isn’t a Seance, It’s a Family Reunion” leans into the more catchy rock oriented side of our sound previously found on the titular first single, “Forest for the Trees.” “This Isn’t a Seance, It’s a Family Reunion,” ups the dramatics with thundering drums, soaring leads, and some of the catchiest melodies you could ever imagine for a song about ghostly reunions.” – The Low Blow

“Forest For The Trees as a whole piece focuses on utilizing the backdrop of ghostly figures in Appalachia to explore themes of grief, self-discovery, and identity. Continuing the evolution of the band lyrically as well as sonically, we found ourselves exploring different corners of every member’s influences in unique ways that weave the fabric that is our sound to this date. A truer expression of the band’s identity you could never ask for!” – The Low Blow
