Southern California’s post-hardcore stalwarts MOVEMENTS are pleased to announce the September 4 release of their new album Happier Now via Fearless Records. The band fires off not one but two new tracks with „Dissolve Me“ and „Back in My Ways„:

Movements have earned their reputation in the post-hardcore scene with mathy, discordant riffs wrapped in forward-thinking melodies. The band further perfects the formula that has served it so well with „Dissolve Me,“ which features tense and angular riffs wrapped in shimmering, layered vocal harmonies. It’s a hardcore bop that will have the kids in the pit jumping up and down and dancing like no one is watching.
„‚Dissolve Me,‘ the first track we wrote for this record, set a precedent for our writing process,“ explains Miranda. „Nailing the lead single for an album cycle on the first try is a significant accomplishment. It felt like the perfect culmination of energy, emotion, and growth for us sonically. Like much of the record, this song is introspective, and It’s a sort of confession about my own social behaviors and the challenges I face in navigating even the smallest or most ’normal‘ everyday interactions. Those feelings tend to accumulate and worsen over time, to the point where they can become debilitating. Sometimes it feels like the only remedy would be to slam my head into a wall.“
But rather, the band members channel those frustrations into their music!
