Trophy Eyes have released “More Like You,” the second single from their upcoming new album The American Dream out August 3rd on Hopeless Records. Fans can stream the song now below or through Apple Music and Spotify.
The band previously released the lead single and music video for “You Can Count On Me“. The song is a push back, a reaction to the negative and judgmental treatment a lot of artist’s experience on social media today and shines a spotlight on the impact this can have on their mental health.
The American Dream – the third album in the Trophy Eyes collection – is based on the idea that there’s still utopia left on this this planet – a place where one can start again and live a peaceful life, forsaking the trail of destruction that threatened to derail it all.
The album also serves as a coming of age fable, in which lead vocalist John Floreani takes an introspective look at who he is today. His story is brought to life in vivid colour with string arrangements produced by Chris Craker, who can list the soundtrack to Hans Zimmer’s score of “Interstellar” and Hans Zimmer “The Classics” on his production resume.
“This record is about my life in present time and a reflection on who I was and how I got here,” Floreani explains. “As much of the other Trophy Eyes works have been the hate, violence, addiction and heartbreak I fought so desperately to leave behind, this record is about shedding one’s past, transitioning from boy to man, making a home and wanting nothing more in life than to sit and enjoy the silence.”
The band is set to tour across North America this fall with more dates to be announced. A full list of dates and cities can be found below.
The album is now available for physical and digital pre-order. Those who pre-order digitally will receive and instant grat download of “You Can Count On Me” and “More Like You”.
