Within the six months since we mentioned “it seems like Cut up Chain are all over the place,” they’ve solely gotten extra omnipresent, and right now they introduced their debut album. Titled motionblur, it comes out July 11 by way of Epitaph, and it contains current single “I’m Not Dying To Be Right here,” in addition to the just-released “bored. drained. torn.” Their mixture of Y2K emo, shoegaze, and grunge is in full pressure on the brand new track, and right here’s what singer/guitarist Bert Martinez-Cowles says about it:
‘bored.drained.torn’ explores the issue and ache of rising up in a damaged childhood residence. Thematically the track facilities on whether or not or not somebody ought to need to cope with the shit they’re dealt by kin simply because they’re household. The track is a declaration towards that, and tries to positively convey the message that no person has to place up with it simply because they’re share blood with the folks hurting them. Don’t really feel certain to it simply because society would count on you to, all the time make the perfect resolution for your self no matter what anyone else makes of it. You’ll be grateful you probably did.
Concerning the album general, Bert says that it’s “a file that tells you that it’s okay to be your genuine self. That is the story of what we’ve been by, and that is the story of who we’re right now. You both let the issues you’ve skilled outline you, otherwise you select a unique path. You will be whoever you need to be. If there’s one factor I hope folks take from the album, it’s that.” Bassist Tom Davies provides:
motionblur is as a lot a coming-of-age story as it’s a celebration of our adolescence and the issues that outlined us. We needed to encapsulate the sentiments of angst and isolation that so many battle with rising up—however simply as importantly, we needed to honor the issues that formed us: the life, the music, and the popular culture that turned a part of our identification.
This album is an amalgamation of our particular person and collective experiences. Whereas its themes will be darkish, at its core, ‘motionblur’ is about resilience—about making it by with out letting these experiences weigh you down. It was essential for us to create an album that felt like a cohesive piece of artwork whereas nonetheless being sonically various. We needed to seize the sensation of rising up in an period when albums have been extra than simply collections of songs—they have been experiences, meant to be performed from begin to end, again and again.
