The title track is out today, and it’s a melancholic, reflective gem.<\/p>\n“This record comes from a place of growing up, and giving up on adolescent dreams,” bassist Patrick Fitzgerald. “[Guitarist] Matt [Weinberger] presented to us this beautiful nostalgic song, more or less fully formed, and he’d called it ‘Somersaults’ before the vocals were ever written for it.
