New Single - Awkward Connector

 

We are quite excited about our new single "Awkward Connector." This is a song where the original idea came from Daniel Clement, guitarist, and we worked on it over the summer. We did try playing it live a few times while we were in Manitoba but it never felt like we had it totally finished. November 1st we are releasing it into the world with hopes it will find us new friends!

 Featuring Isabelle's vocals once again with Dan's lush guitars filling in many of the spaces. The synths were a fun addition as I explored a few of the new virtual analog synths I'd purchased this past year. Several of the sounds are multiple layers of synths to complete the sonic palette. 

Once again our friend Greg Hanberry came into the studio to add a conga part to the song. His congas have really become integral to the Combine the Victorious sound over the past two years. He's now played on at least five of our songs! 

To complete the release we asked our frequent artist collaborator Robert Edmonds to create an image that depicts too disparate  power sockets/plugs as an analogy to the "Awkward Connector" lyric. From Rob's first iteration he' nailed it and offered up many other options which I then utilized in the lyric video posted below. 

Please have a watch/listen and if you like it give it a share!

Out on all streaming sites November first, 2024.
