Seth Glier has released his new single “Water On Fire” which taps into today’s controversy of fracking. The intense and provocative single highlights corporate greed and its interference with environmental justice. Listen to the song now below!
Seth states, “I wrote ‘Water On Fire’ to explore the falsehood between freedom and capitalism. We often say ‘what’s good for business is good for the country’ then ignore the environment, the history, & the people affected. ‘Water On Fire’ was inspired after a conversation with a friend in Oklahoma who’s been dealing with daily earthquakes in his home ever since his state started aggressively fracking. I believe that climate change might be taken a bit more seriously if we started calling it what it actually is, which is violence. Violence against our resources, violence against species, and violence to our children.”
“Water On Fire” is just one of the few tracks from Seth’s upcoming studio album, Birds, that tackles the current political climate. The collection includes “Justice For All” which challenges the death penalty, and his dynamic cover of Buffalo Springfield’s protest-song “For What It’s Worth.” Birds will be available on August 25th, fans can pre-order the album on iTunes.Seth has also collaborated with Pledge Music to officially launch his pre-order campaign for Birds. Fans will be able to access uniquely branded experiences and Pledge-only exclusives with each pre-order of the album.
Additionally, Seth will be hitting the road for a headlining U.S. tour kicking off at the Kerrville Fall Festival in Kerrville, TX. Full tour routing can be found below.
