October 04th will see the release of the next album from Balance And Composure. The emo/alt rock outfit are newly streaming “cross to bear” from that record, which they’ve titled “with you in spirit“. Vocalist Jon Simmons commented:
“I truly believe that this is the best collection of Balance And Composure songs there’s ever been. It has the heavy stuff, it has the fast stuff, it has the groovy stuff. It has everything they’ve worked on over the last 12 years.”
He later added:
“We were writing these songs for the pure reason of having an outlet and getting together with your friends, no pressure. We were longing for it, and we found it as soon as we got together. We didn’t want that train to stop.”
The group reunited in October of 2022 and had producer Will Yip (Turnstile, Code Orange) oversee the fourth full-length album.
