Silent Planet has announced their new album SUPERBLOOM, due for release on November 3 via Solid State Records. The release date is an important one for the band, coinciding with the anniversary of their terrible van accident.
The band has also just shared their new single ‘Collider’, which is accompanied by a video. Speaking about the new track, the band’s lead singer Garrett Russell said:
“Take all the darkness. All the vitriol, the greed and the vanity; lay it again as dust. Everything can be alchemized. This song is called ‘Collider’. It’s about what comes out of our lives when the people we trust and hold closest are the ones who can hurt or betray us the worst. We don’t have to run from the pain or be afraid. The dark gives us the energy to make something beautiful. The song is about alchemizing the darkness and transforming its negative properties”
On the title of the album, SUPERBLOOM, he adds:
“A SUPERBLOOM is this strange moment where brilliant fauna spring forth unexpectedly and bring forth such an array of colors, it almost feels alien in origin. It only lasts for a couple of weeks before it’s gone. While we were recording, the SUPERBLOOM was happening. For me, the record is getting in touch with the other side and watching the strange and paranormal emerge from the mundane and profane, hence the title”.
