Cheek created the album with longtime collaborators Ben Chapoteau-Katz and Andrew Lappin, and its excellent lead single is out now.<\/p>\n<p>That would be &#8220;soulless cycle,&#8221; a song that sounds like serenity in the midst of nonstop explosions. The track begins at a low simmer, with Cheek&#8217;s vocal gently spiraling amidst a relatively calm backdrop. Soon, bombastic drums and guitars consume everything, but the beauty at the eye of the storm remains. It sounds like a triumphant breakthrough during a moment of deep reflection, a No Age song breaking out at a new age retreat.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it&#8217;s awesome. I can&#8217;t wait to see it performed live someday. In the meantime, we can all enjoy &#8220;soulless cycle&#8221; via director Mackai Sharp&#8217;s music video.
