Bears In Trees have shared the latest single from their forthcoming album ‘How to Build an Ocean: Instructions’.
An ode to friends once known – especially friendships formed online – ‘We Don’t Speak Anymore’ is an emotional, piano-led track that’s sure to tug on your heartstrings.
It’s the fourth single released from the Croydon four-piece’s new album, which arrives April 26 via I Sure Hope It Does. It comes following the release of album-announcer ‘Things That Look Like Mistakes’, ‘Hot Chocolate’, and ‘I Wanna Feel Calm’.
Have a listen to ‘We Don’t Speak Anymore’ via the video below.
Speaking about the new track and how it serves as a eulogy for the connection and community found online, guitarist Nick Peters has shared:
“I grew up surrounded by online friends… It’s natural that in time, you will drift apart.
It’s hard not to wonder; what would have happened if we’d lived across the street from one another? If I knew your face instead of your URL and I recognised you on the train? I wanted to try and write a song that encompassed how meaningful these people were in my life, while also understanding that we’d probably never speak again.”
The new track comes ahead of the band’s co-headline tour with The Happy Fits, with support to come from Lexie Carroll.
