Mansionair have released “Shallow Water“, the latest single from their highly anticipated album, Happiness, Guaranteed., out April 29th via Glassnote Recordings. Listen to the song now below.
Mansionair details the deeply personal story behind their new single, “‘Shallow Water’ is about our band cracking under pressure. We wrote it at a point when our friendships within the band were not in a great spot. We were fighting a lot about really petty things and this song was the result of working through them. To me this song is about letting go of expectations of each other and accepting each other’s flaws. In doing so, we’ve come out the other side stronger and closer as a band than ever.”
The band explains that their forthcoming album, “is about the cyclical nature of our modern dissatisfaction. It’s a brief dive into the frustrations our desires bring in our attempts to reach a level of contentment. Each song explores the pursuit of happiness within our relationships, our work, and our wealth all whilst finding ways to be content with what you have whilst balancing a desire to grow.”
In the coming months, Mansionair will also embark on a summer North American tour bookended by performances in New York on May 31 and Phoenix on June 25.
