Speaking to the new single, the band said, “Bring Me Back to Life was the first song we wrote at Panda Studios in California. We were on fire with energy, working late into the hours of the night. It became the first song we recorded with Sam because it set the vibe of the album. After we recorded it, we could see the whole album in front of us. This song about coming home to the one you love, admitting you need help, and longing for peace in the heart and soul.”
After a five-year hiatus, the band released their self-titled album early last year and has band has been touring non-stop since, rekindling their love and resolve for playing shows, being on the road, and writing music. Energized, the band went into the studio with Sam Pura (The Story So Far, Basement, Hundredth) and began recording new music.
Speaking to Mother Nature, The Dangerous Summer frontman AJ Perdomo said, “The album title ‘Mother Nature’ is meant to provoke the feeling of a powerful force, and living within and alongside that force.”
He continued, “The mother, who brought us here, she will swallow us whole in the same breath. Also holding tight to the feeling of the mother, and that nature is female, and a mother to all of us. Growing up with my daughter, I feel the connection to the earth and the female spirit that the world embodies.”
Pre-orders for Mother Nature are available now, and include an instant-grat download of “Way Down” and the album’s first single, “Where Were You When the Sky Opened Up”.
