Pinkshift will release their new album, Earthkeeper, on August 29. In celebration of the news, they’ve released a brand new single called “Anita Ride,” which can be streamed below. Speaking of the new single, vocalist Ashrita Kumar has shared:
“It’s essentially a release, a reminder, a cathartic moment to give yourself permission to share the weight that you feel in the moments you feel heavy with grief with others and give yourself credit for everything you have done.
“I felt like this song was a moment where we all very obviously, as a band, shed our old skin. This is the first track you hear [guitarist]Paul [Vallejo] and [drummer]Myron [Houngbedji] singing prominently on a track – we are all intentionally united. I found my roar.
“What made me more powerful in this moment was leaning into losing control, leaning into trusting my community, and leaning into the uncertainty and chaos that are the transitions of life.”
