Manchester alt-punks THE EMPTY PAGE have unveiled another new single from their forthcoming album.
'Life Is A Wave' is taken from the duo's second album Imploding, the long-awaited follow-up to their 2016 debut Unfolding.
“A few people I love have passed away over the past few years, often in really unexpected and seemingly unfair circumstances," explains singer Kel Page of the song. "I wrote 'Life Is A Wave' in response to one of those losses. Its meaning is fairly straightforward, about how life is short, random, full of ups and downs and often ends when you least expect it to. It’s about holding those you love dear but trying to let the waves of life (and grief) flow over you because there is nothing you can do to change things. I played with the imagery of waves, lyrically, thinking about the waves on an ECG as well as the waves in the sea that can lift you aloft and crash you down.”
Imploding is set for release on 10 May through the band's own Vociferous Records.
