Knocked Loose have been talking about a new full-length album for a while now, and we’re still waiting for concrete word on that, but the band did just release two awesome new songs, “Deep In the Willow” and “Everything Is Quiet Now.” They make up a double single called Upon Loss, which will be released as a 10″ via Pure Noise. Both are great examples of Knocked Loose’s ability to deliver pure brutality in a way that feels tuneful, tasteful, and artistic, and they’re accompanied by a double music video directed by Eric Richter and Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris. Bryan says:
“Deep in the Willow” and “Everything is Quiet Now” are a reminder that we are heavy, intense, and extreme. Some elements come and go, but those will never change. After A Tear in the Fabric of Life we were inspired to see how much art we could incorporate moving forward – which led us to a style of video we’ve never attempted or approached. Taking myself specifically far outside of my comfort zone and pushing the boundaries on how I’ve been seen in the past was a creative experience I will never forget. This video wouldn’t be what it is without the collaboration with Eric Richter, someone we’ve admired for a while. And the songs wouldn’t be what they are without [producer] Drew Fulk, a new friend and creative ear in the entire process.
Check out the new songs and video below.
