Baltimore-based punk rock outfit PINKSHIFT have released a brand new double single!
The new tracks, titled Reflection and Don’t Fight, are the latest to be lifted from the band’s upcoming full-length studio album, Earthkeeper, which is scheduled to be released later this month, via Hopeless Records.
Speaking about the new songs, vocalist Ashrita Kumar says, “Don’t Fight and Reflection are opposite ends of Earthkeeper. They kind of balance each other out. Don’t Fight is grief ignited by anger, and Reflection is softness in power.”
Kumar continues, “Don’t Fight came from an idea [guitarist] Paul [Vallejo] brought to the band, and that’s him singing the choruses. They inspired me in a time of grieving, and I felt drawn to something less melodic. My verses are more like shouted poems, feeling a sense of discord and anguish. Reflection is, on the other hand, written from a place of feeling softness and lightness. That reflection is the presence of the Earthkeeper, my friends beyond the veil, and my ancestors. I feel the grief of their loss, but maybe our relationship is more magical now in ways that I can’t understand all the time. Their time on Earth, in my life, shaped who I am today. That version of me can choose how I’d like to see the world.”
