‘ALL CANDY’ has a distinct southern sound, channelling a mix of swamp-rock and post-hardcore, highlighted by melodic vocals and pulsating guitars. Written by vocalist Brent Mills, the lyrics shed light on his own battle with depression, demonstrating one’s ability to completely block out any negative thoughts and pretend like everything is fine. The accompanying video, directed by Errick Easterday, narrates through these impulses, before ending with an invigorating performance from the band.
Mills elaborates on the single:
“It’s been far too long since the last release, so we wanted to bring something different to the table with this one. Shed all that bullsh*t you’re carrying around and lean into blissful ignorance for a moment; for better or worse. The one person you can’t run away from is you so you better learn to love it, all of it.”
With two records under their belt (Cult America and Empty Black), Greyhaven utilised their classic chaotic energy when writing This Bright and Beautiful World. Written in five different locations, the band wanted all of their ideas to present themselves once they entered the studio with producer Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio. Taking pride in simply being “four guys who like to play music”, Greyhaven left with a diverse set of 10 songs that dive into themes of frustration, depression, the inability to fully express yourself and appreciating the darker parts of life, even though that may seem impossible at times.
The band kick off their tour with Seeyouspacecowboy, Vatican, and Wristmeetrazor tomorrow in California, making their way back and forth across the United States.
