Exploded View are set to drop their sophomore album Obey digitally on September 28th, with the physical copies reaching stores on October 5th. The LP was recorded in Mexico City. After giving fans a taste of what to expect by releasing the tracks ‘Raven Raven’ and ‘Sleepers’, Exploded View now unveil a new song titled ‘Dark Stains’. Fusing a dub bass line with sinister effects and militant drums, front woman Annika Henderson’s reverb-soaked vocals provide an extra haunt.
Regarding the song, Annika Henderson mentioned:
“‘Dark Stains’ is a song about a body who sees in themselves the errors of the past, yet flaunts behind the veils of inheritance and fails to take full responsibility for the present. To what extent can we break the cycles, repetitive patterns deep engrained, that we were born with? Can we trust to be protected by the cotton beds that we were blessed with? Or restricted forever more by the ceilings that we came to earth beneath?”
