Post-hardcore band Vagrants has shared a new single, "Be Consumed," in advance of an upcoming tour as well as a new record scheduled for later this year via Equal Vision Records.
Speaking of the song, the band says:
"Be Consumed" was one of those songs that just spilled out all at once. I remember sitting down with my laptop, turning on the click track and essentially just jamming this song out front to back in maybe 30 minutes or so. Besides shortening a couple of the sections by a few bars, it's almost identical (instrumentally) to its original conception as a demo. Which is wild -- as a songwriter every song comes about and evolves into its final form in its own way. Often you have to really work things out, sometimes with a ton of versions before you feel like it's there. Instead, the challenge with "Be Consumed" was trusting our guts and not screwing it up by feeling like we had to try and change it into a more conventional song structure, or try and write this really hooky chorus to fit in with a lot of the other songs on the album. I felt connected to this one immediately, and knew there was something unique about the song; the way it captured both some of the lightest and also most over the top and aggressive moments we have as a band, so far.
An album of the same name is expected later this year, as well as news of tour dates.
Vagrants last released Separation EP in 2021.
