After teasing their return on social media, Yellowcard have officially ended their hiatus, revealing that they have signed with Equal Vision Records / Rise Records for their forthcoming Childhood Eyes EP, set for release on July 7 and produced by Neal Avron. This marks the band’s first new music since their 2016 self-titled album.
Alongside the announcement, Yellowcard has unveiled the first track from the EP, ‘Childhood Eyes,’ accompanied by a cinematic video directed by Jordan Phoenix. Speaking about the new single, William Ryan Key shared:
“I woke up in the middle of the night with the chorus ringing in my head. I grabbed my phone off of the night stand and started typing away, squinting in the dark. This was months before we even started demoing the EP. When we started writing I threw the idea in the hat at the last minute, picked up a guitar to try and put music to the melody in my head for the first time, and ‘Childhood Eyes’ was born. This is a song about being defeating, let down, and deceived time and again, but still managing to find your creative soul and carry on. I think it captures the spirit of Yellowcard, both old and new.”
