There are are nonetheless a number of close-up scenes of cowboys getting thrown from bulls, intermingled with stay pictures of the band performing in what seems like a rehearsal studio. And the music’s quiet piano-based coda is a complete different vibe altogether with photographs of what appear to be mannequins in a room stuffed with elaborate chandeliers. As esoteric because it all appears, the visuals—courtesy of director Jorge Torres Torres (Modest Mouse, Lamb of God, Imperial Triumphant)—do appear to suit the nine-minute observe, which fits from pensive and moody to heavy and sludgy and again to quiet and calm. The band—Eric Andraska (bass/vocals), Matt Allen (guitars/vocals), Russell Emerson Corridor (guitars/vocals), Nick Bartley (drums)—is extraordinarily proficient in constructing layers, each instrumentally and dynamically. “Like Moths” is taken from Corridoré’s upcoming full-length, Abandon.

Bassist/vocalist Eric Andraska had this to say in regards to the observe:
“I wrote the lyrics to this music desirous about how, ‘like moths,’ we’re drawn in the direction of ‘the sunshine,’ regardless of how a lot we struggle it. I used to be caught in a rut desirous about the previous. However I ultimately got here to the conclusion that a lot of that needed to be left behind. It’s in regards to the harsh dichotomy of getting to go ahead with ‘our hearts open large,’ but in addition acknowledging that we’ve given up and it’s certainly ‘for the final time.’”
