The Contortionist have released a brand new single, Early Grave.
Their first new song since 2017’s Clairvoyant album, it is accompanied by a video directed by Corey Numan and produced and edited by vocalist Michael Lessard.
The song will be followed by new EP, Our Bones, which is released on Aug 9.
“We try to do something different with everything we create,” explains Michael Lessard. “With our albums, we tend to work with overarching interconnected themes. 'Our Bones' is a departure. It offered an opportunity to dive into some things we haven’t had a chance to explore, and the shorter EP format allowed us to be hyper-focused on each song.”
The Contortionist kick off a European on Aug 3.
