Second Harbour, who have garnered early press praise from Exclaim!, Hit Parader, and Idobi, have shared another self-shot video, this time for the title track. How's that for a commitment to the DIY ethos! Watch it below!
“We had a lot to prove with this EP", says the band's Vincent Morency. "To the world, absolutely, but to ourselves even more so. We didn't want to come out with what'd been done before, or worse, what we'd done before. In the past, we'd always felt concerned about assimilating into the scene, and writing songs that fit into whatever subgenre we were a part of. This time around, equipped with everything we'd learned through our past releases, we felt it high time we took the swings we always wanted to. So we did just that. We came out swinging. Our title track is four and a half minutes long, our third track has both the happiest and heaviest parts we've ever written, and our main single has so many lyrics, we need a permit for them. We took these swings and left the studio more confident than ever in the work we'd done. This collection of songs is Second Harbour. "Coalesce" IS Second Harbour.”
“If 'Coalesce' were the last song we ever put out, we'd be able to rest fulfilled", says Xavier Morency. "For weeks on end, we tried to build that song from the ground up. We devoted all of our time to it, and it amounted to nothing bar the guitar intro. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't for the life of us crack that song. We were crumbling under the weight of the expectations we'd set for ourselves. In letting those go, we were able to circle back to the song in high spirits, and everything seemed to fall right into place.”
