Hot Water Music‘s upcoming LP Vows is full of big guests, and they’ve just shared two of the guest-filled songs: “Remnants” ft. Brendan Yates & Daniel Fang of Turnstile (whose band name comes from the 1997 Hot Water Music song of the same name), and “Fences” ft. Thrice. On “Remnants,” they bring in polyrhythmic percussion that definitely sounds like Hot Water Music with a Turnstile twist.
“‘Remnants’ is a song of friendship and what it means to be a true friend to a person dear to us even through the toughest times of our lives,” the band says. “These values are based on whether or not we choose to be present for one another when all seems to fall apart.” About “Fences,” they say, “One of the toughest things in life is remembering and recognizing the importance of living in the moment. With so many distractions in our day-to-day lives, it becomes easy to get lost in the noise of this society and lose focus of our true and present purpose.”
Hot Water are also gearing up for their 30th anniversary tour, including a show at NYC’s Brooklyn Paramount on May 11 with Quicksand, Modern Life Is War, and The Ergs!. All dates are listed below.
