Bridge City Sinners release new single "Doubt"
In an era dominated by uncertainty, "In the Age of Doubt" delves deep into the perpetual tug-of-war between determining what is right and what is wrong, and the endless pursuit of self-acceptance. Following the sonic trajectory of “Unholy Hymns” in an effort to fully explore our capabilities both as musicians and songwriters, this album combines our folk ethos and instrumentation with our proclivity toward heavier, more alternative styles of music. Both albums are set in the same fictional, hedonistic, post-apocalyptic world on the verge of collapse. Amid conflict and chaos, we explore themes of self reflection, insecurity, disassociation, and escapism. We all could use a break from the world, even from ourselves at times. These songs are an antidote to that harsh reality, a proclamation of solidarity with those who struggle with doubt in their own lives. There’s a tension and release between introspection and indulgence, and it’s too much to take on the weight of the world all on our own. In the end, it’s about the long journey and the connections we make along the way.
The Single "Doubt" will be out May 10th
"I've spent a lot of time inside my own head. Sometimes, while I am there, I make myself at home. I tidy up and spend time caring for the place. Other times, I am an unwelcome guest, destroying just about everything I can get my hands on. 'Doubt' speaks to the battle within and how you, yourself, are your own worst enemy. It's a reminder not to give in to those passing thoughts of self-harm and self-hatred, but instead to push forward on the journey toward a happy heart, body, and mind." - Libby Lux, Lead Singer of Bridge City Sinners.
