Minnesota indie rock band Remo Drive share a new video for "Around The Sun," a track off their new album Natural, Everyday Degradation set to be released on May 31.
"Around The Sun" is an ode to touring. "There's sadness in routine," Erik Paulson (vocals, guitars) says, explaining the song. "Even in the happiest of situations, we're losing valuable moments or time. All these songs [on the album] are about some sort of warped existence, but through that, I think we ultimately find we can be whatever we want to be." Watch the video for "Around The Sun" now:
Brothers Erik and Stephen Paulson toured the world on the heels of their 2017 release Greatest Hits and 2018's Pop Music EP. All that time spent on toll roads and tarmacs left the brothers with endless opportunities to think about how far their band had come in a short time - as well as plan for the future. While Greatest Hits overflowed with wide-eyed nativity and whole-hearted enthusiasm, Natural, Everyday Degradation finds the Paulson brothers crafting a sturdier brand of indie-rock.
Produced by Joe Reinhart (Modern Baseball, Hop Along) and mixed by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol), Natural, Everyday Degradation highlights the band's true strengths. Erik's lyrics are emotionally resonant and universally relatable, though, they're far more intentional and precise this time around. Instead of letting off-kilter turns of phrase and nervous energy capture listeners' ears, Remo Drive allows their confidence to take center stage.
Pre-orders for Natural, Everyday Degradation are available at remodriveband. Remo Drive begin their headlining North American tour May 30 in Madison, WI at High Noon Saloon. Tickets are on-sale now.
