Alexisonfire have unveiled the latest single from Otherness, their first full-length album in over 13 years.
“Sans Soleil” features earnest and deeply heartfelt lyrics penned by guitarist Wade MacNeil, with an impeccable vocal performance from Dallas Green. In a press release, AOF vocalist George Pettit said “Wade came in with the lyrics for this song around the same time he had been working on the Dooms Children record and I feel like it shows. The Dooms Children album touched on a lot of things extremely personal to Wade and this song is definitely in that vein.” MacNeil elaborates, “This song is about hanging onto hope during the heaviest times. Healing and letting go. Dreaming of a future where all this hurt is behind you.”
Otherness will be released on June 24 via Dine Alone Records. You can pre-order the album here. Additionally, AOF has announced that they will be celebrating the release of their debut self-titled album with a special first time front-to-back performance at their Born & Raised Concert Event on July 3. Tickets for the Born & Raised Concert Event are available via ticketmaster.ca. Alexisonfire and City and Colour have partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Indspire Building Brighter Futures Scholarship program.
