Screaming on the TV, like can’t anyone see me? Spend one other day in misplaced and located…

“Take me increased to that holy hearth; I can’t discover the spirit anymore,” Glitterfox’s Solange Igoa sings at first of “TV,” their shivering voice a beacon of heavy heat in a darkish and ethereal soundscape. “The solar is setting, and as of late are getting more durable simply to make it out the door.” Theirs is a cry up from the all-consuming darkness; a name for connection, compassion, and launch from their current haunts.

Ever the emotional rollercoaster, life swings excessive and brings us pleasure and elation; when it swings low, we’re susceptible to go down in sinking ships of our personal – and Glitterfox’s newest involves us straight from the underside of the ocean flooring. Achingly intimate and intensely weak, “TV” is a cathartic eruption of ache, exhaustion, and emotionally charged indie rock: A young track filled with turbulence and turmoil, eager for a light-weight on the finish of this lengthy, darkish tunnel.

Take me increased to that holy hearth
I can’t discover the spirit anymore
The solar is setting
And as of late are getting
More durable simply to make it out the door

Launched October 25, 2023 through Kill Rock Stars, “TV” is the breathtaking second single of the yr from Portland, Oregon’s Glitterfox. Following August’s spirited “Drive,” which signaled the band’s return over a yr after Might 2022’s sophomore EP Evening, “TV” arrives with an intoxicating wave of melancholia and dejection.

The band shaped by married couple Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker – who just lately(-ish) introduced on singer/songwriter and bassist Eric Stalker and drummer Blaine Heinonen to spherical as much as a foursome – Glitterfox self-describe as an “indie soundtrack for driving off into the sundown,” and rattling if their new track isn’t good for simply that.

Let it’s recognized that unhappy songs can slap simply as onerous as comfortable ones – and “TV” channels deep despair into an impassioned, exhilarating anthem.

Glitterfox come to a stunning climax within the track’s refrain, a second of uncooked vulnerability and emotional publicity:

And I’m staring on the TV
Like one thing’s gonna attain me
Like somebody’s gonna flip & name my identify
Drowning in my very own mattress
Locked up in my very own head
Ready on a coloration apart from this grey

“This is without doubt one of the most intensely private songs I’ve ever written, a lot in order that it’s onerous to share in quite a lot of depth and transparency in regards to the topic,” Andrea Walker tells Atwood Journal. “However I can say that I used to be going by means of one of many hardest occasions I’ve ever skilled, in my relationship and in my private life. Two of the individuals I’m closest to on the planet have been combating alcohol and substance abuse. And on the identical time my very own psychological well being was plummeting. I used to be overwhelmed with despair and nervousness every single day and fully consumed in my family members’ chaos.”

“I simply bear in mind feeling completely numb and indifferent from every little thing,” they proceed. “And on the identical time like my mind was on hearth. I poured all these emotions into the track: The disappointment, the numbness, this overwhelming sense of feeling misplaced and disconnected on the planet. However after I was engaged on the demo it got here out with this dance vibe. Which is definitely one in every of my favourite approaches in songwriting – take a tragic track or topic however ship it in an upbeat approach, make it one thing you wish to transfer to.”

“Ultimately, after quite a lot of time and remedy and reaching out for assist, issues began getting higher for me and my family members. And the track ended up feeling like this anthem, this dedication not to surrender. It’s a reminder that it doesn’t matter what we’re going by means of, there’s a approach by means of it. It could really feel not possible to see, or to imagine in. But it surely’s there.”

locations and the ragged faces
Discover me within the mirror each time
A light metropolis used to shine so fairly
Now she’s only a damaged freeway signal

Drowning in my very own mattress, locked up in my very own head, ready on a coloration apart from this grey…

And I’m staring on the TV
Like one thing’s gonna attain me
Like somebody’s gonna flip & name my identify
Drowning in my very own mattress
Locked up in my very own head
Ready on a coloration apart from this grey

Harking back to mid 2000s-era Demise Cab for Cutie, “TV” is a poetic launch of all of the issues that dangle heavy on the soul – or at the least, it yearns for such a launch.

These internal demons nonetheless hang-out the narrator on the track’s finish, as they proceed to reveal their soul, “screaming on the television, like can’t anyone see me? Spend one other day in misplaced and located.” Melancholy and nervousness don’t go away in a day, nor do they go away simply because we need them to. However for those who’re studying this and at present struggling, like Walker was once they wrote this track, know that there is a light-weight, that there is hope, and that someday, you would possibly get up and notice, at the moment I really feel good.

And I can really feel the fireplace
Dancing on a wire
However honey I can see the great distance down
Screaming on the TV
Like can’t anyone see me
Spend one other day in misplaced and located
