Shoreline have shared their cathartic new single, ‘Reviver’.
The track is taken from the band’s upcoming new album, ‘To Figure Out’, which arrives February 23 and will mark their debut on Pure Noise Records.
The album has so far also been preceded by singles ‘Needles’ and ‘Seoul’ – have a listen to the latest track below.
Discussing the emotive new tune and going some way to explain the depth of feeling behind it, Shoreline have shared:
“‘Reviver’ is an honest statement speaking about the tension between hope and hopelessness in the context of the climate crisis.
“The initial inspiration was sparked by graffiti in the streets of Berlin saying: ‘Resignation is a privilege of those less affected’.
Singer Hansol Seung further added:
“‘Reviver’ is a letter to a beloved person, who is not resigning and a constant reminder not to be too pessimistic.
“I think it is very easy to be overwhelmed by what is going on in the world right now. If I had to break the whole song down to one sentence it would be the pre chorus: ‘If this is really the end, I want it with our fists out.’”
Shoreline have been billed as a band that cares and one that is ready to tackle the problems of today’s world.
As a sign of how they take this onboard in their output, the title of their forthcoming album is derived in part from a poem which reads
You can be desperate and hopeful at the same time
You don’t need to have an immediate solution
You have to figure it out
You will figure it out
