The gritty new single lands on the rockier end of the Columbus duo’s output and even packs a surprisingly heavy bridge. Notably, it the first single they have released to date to feature vocals from drummer Josh Dun, who primarily sings the repeating lines “I’ve been this way/I want to change.”

It is the second track to have been released from ‘Breach’ so far, following June’s lead single ‘The Contract’.

The album itself, the follow-up to last year’s ‘Clancy’, will be released on September 12 via Fueled By Ramen.

However, fans outside the US can get involved in global listening parties where they can hear ‘Breach’ early in independent record stores. You can find out more about which record stores are participating here.
