Have Mercy has released the third single from the highly anticipated album The Love Life today. “Mattress On The Floor” is an ethereal and reflective song full of signature Have Mercy guitar melodies. On the song, front man Brian Swindle shares “Mattress On The Floor was written the second I decided to start dealing with some of my thoughts and feelings that I was going through. I sat down at my parents house with an old acoustic that I had and kind of went over the last 5 years of my life.” Fans can stream the equally beautiful and artistic music video for “Mattress On The Floor” today at smarturl.it/MOTFvideo.
The unique music video is a time-lapse from artist Corinne McBreen, who helped Swindle bring his vision for the cover art for this album come to life. He discovered the Baltimore-based artist on Instagram and knew he wanted to work with her on this project. Fans can follow her work at https://www.instagram.com/corrinemcbreenart/.
“Mattress On The Floor” joins previously released singles “Heartbeat” and “Clair” from the band’s fourth full-length album, The Love Life. Along with producer Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, The Maine), who oversaw the album’s three-week recording progress, the group spent time carving out room in the album’s 11 songs for each element of their sound-whether intricate guitar lines or Swindle’s visceral vocal performances-to take center stage or serve a complementary role, depending on the situation.
Coming off the 2017 Billboard charting album, “Make The Best Of It,” singer and guitarist Brian Swindle is exploring the negative space in the bands music like never before. He shares, “This record is probably the most personal record since our first release. I wrote it to talk about everything I went through the last couple of years and how I was feeling during all of it. I want people to know that it’s okay to be vulnerable and ask for help. If you don’t then you may just be stuck in a bad place.” The Love Life is set to be released August 2, 2019 via Hopeless Records and is available for pre-order today at http://smarturl.it/thelovelife.
