San Diego's Western Settings have released a new song from their upcoming album Another Year, which will be preluded by a tour with The Penske File that kicks off on Monday.

"Another Year in a nut shell is about all the shitty and overwhelming things that happen to all of us, chewing them up, swallowing them, and continuing. This song draws from some of those things that have happened to me personally and to others around me over the last couple of years," the band explains of the new release, which will be issued on A-F Records/Gunner Records.

The band last released Old Pain in 2016. Listen to new singles, here and here
