Communist Daughter's 'Therapeutic' New Track 'Balboa Bridge' Streaming Exclusively via Stereogum

After songwriting comparisons to Bruce Springsteen ("Hold Back"), Nirvana, and Fleetwood Mac ("Roll a Stone"), Communist Daughter is debuting another single from the upcoming sophomore album via Stereogum: the misleadingly upbeat "Balboa Bridge." The gorgeous instrumental melodies and vocal harmonies are comforting at first take, but demand another listen to reveal another meaning.

Frontman Johnny Solomon explains the inspiration behind the song: "There's this gorgeous park in the middle of San Diego, and there's a bridge right in the middle of it that runs over the highway. My mom told me that when she was younger, they used to call that Suicide Bridge. I remember the times when I was thinking of that option, and how far away that bridge was from me. All I could think about was that it was this place, so far away from that basement in Wisconsin where I was getting high; it was this magical place in my mind where I wouldn't feel the way I did anymore."
