Movements will release their new album, Happier Now, on September 4 via Fearless Records. In celebration of the news, they’ve released two new singles called “Dissolve Me” and “Back In My Ways,” which can be streamed below. On the new album, vocalist Patrick Miranda shares:
“I think at first we weren’t really sure what the record was going to be… We all had a general idea: We wanted it to bring in the early elements of our sound and blend it with the newer material like RUCKUS! and mesh both of those sounds.”
On “Dissolve Me,” Miranda says:
“Nailing the lead single for an album cycle on the first try is a significant accomplishment. It felt like the perfect culmination of energy, emotion, and growth for us sonically. Like much of the record, this song is introspective, and It’s a sort of confession about my own social behaviors and the challenges I face in navigating even the smallest or most ‘normal’ everyday interactions. Those feelings tend to accumulate and worsen over time, to the point where they can become debilitating. Sometimes it feels like the only remedy would be to slam my head into a wall.”
And on “Back In My Ways,” he continues:
“‘Back in My Ways’ was a track that I kinda hated at first… I think there was part of me that was hesitant to want to slip back into the ‘sadder’ side of our music. Sometimes the early versions of the songs we write don’t hit right away, but over time it’s become one of my favorite tracks on the record. This song is a slow burn in more ways than one, and it’s really special.”
