Australia’s heavy trailblazers Northlane have debuted their new single “Plenty”, the next offering lifted from their forthcoming album, Obsidian, out April 1 via Believe. The band have also expanded their June headline run, adding extra shows in Sydney and Melbourne to meet demand.
One of the more classic Northlane-sounding tracks on Obsidian, “Plenty” is a bleak look at forsaking reincarnation with its perplexing time-signature bookending a delicately soaring chorus. As frontman Marcus Bridge wrestles with the idea of another go at life, the sentiment will stay with you long after the final breakdown fades away.
“Plenty is a song of pessimism and looks at the idea of reincarnation,” says Marcus Bridge. “As we watch the world deteriorate day by day, it becomes harder to see a way out and begs the question: If I was to start again from the beginning, if I could have a fresh start, would I take that opportunity? At this stage, I’ve had plenty.”
Northlane will debut Obsidian live in June. Their first Australian headline tour in close to three years will take in metro cities around the country with special guests Plini, Sleep Token and ALT. With sold out signs slapped up immediately in Sydney and Melbourne, new shows have been added in both cities to meet demand, with a warning that tickets for all other shows are selling fast.
