Cemetery Sun - '19'

Following their tracks ‘Supernatural’ and ‘Codeine’, Cemetery Sun release brooding new alt-pop single ‘19’. 

‘19’’s rhythm and use of silences captures the track’s rising power. At the start, everything seems controlled, contained; the lyrics talk about feeling trapped: ‘stuck outside, nowhere to knock, time is elusive’.  The energy builds as the lyrics are layered with snippets of a distant shouting vocal creating an atmospherically dark and memorable track. 

“‘19’ encapsulates a common hope we have both felt within the band and seen in others while the world has been in lockdown,” considers vocalist Josh Doty. “We really wanted to express not just a longing for the world to get back to normal, but also the humble realisation of what’s right in front of us when it comes to family, friends, and how we fill the spaces in between.”
