San Diego’s Embers has released a new EP titled ‘To: The Moon‘ via Big Night Records. The 5-track EP features his most recent single ‘Scratch My Name‘ along with the new track ‘Eating Me Alive‘ featuring Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens.
Embers shares: “When this song came together I was inspired by the nu-metal vibes of the early 2000s and I wanted to mix the epic, grandiose sound of strings with a strong chorus. Adding Kellin to the track really brought it to the next level. The way he wrote his second verse playing off the words I used in the first blew me away on the first listen. This is one of those tracks where even though it’s my song, I can’t stop listening to it.”
He also adds: “‘To: The Moon’ is a melting pot of my influences using inspiration from pop punk and emo to reflect on mental health struggles, toxic relationships, and emotional turbulence. A step forward from my last EP ‘EMO SZN,’ ‘To: The Moon’ finds itself a more energetic place in my catalog. Recording the EP has been an amazing journey. On my first EP, I was going through such a hard time, and it reflects in the music. I’m so proud of the lyrical content and how therapeutic performing those songs is for me and my fans, from what I’ve been told. This second EP takes the basis of the sound of the first EP, but bumps up the energy x 100. The guitars are bigger and the lyrics are less desperate and stronger to match. I can’t wait for people to hear the new music live.”
