(8 Graves) @8GravesNYC - Bury Me Low
8 Graves latest single might be named Numb, but I can assure you that you won’t come away from it feeling numb at all. The NYC duo goes gloriously future grunge on their fourth single from their forthcoming EP, Black. They bring us a compelling infusion of their unique and singular blend of alt electro and grungy future bass after having seen things take off the past few months behind their last single Bury Me Low, which you can stream below via Suicide Sheep’s YouTube channel. This is all welcome news to us considering our long standing adoration of 8 Graves’ rousing and gritty electronica. The band was even featured on Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger this past season, which must be a wonderful feather in the cap for anyone. Can you imagine being a part of the Marvel universe, in any way, shape, or form, much less having your music featured on one of their shows? Numb we certainly aren’t as we take in 8 Graves’ triumphant new anthem. Some Linkin Park meets AWOLNATION gone future grunge vibes exude from the track.
Singer Brent Carpentier says: "Numb is basically about the way I feel 99% of the time. I've had a really hard time connecting to people. After a while, the the lack of love, the lack of meeting people who inspire you, the lack of doing things that are new, and the general routine of life takes over. At first that made me angry, and then it made me sad and, eventually, it just made me quit. At that point, you kind of shut down, and feeling much of anything becomes rare. Numb is about that place. That sensation. And about how feeling nothing sometimes can be even scarier than being in pain.” You can also stream Numb on Spotify, here.
Associating the letters “RIP” with 8 Graves seems counterintuitive when you take into consideration the NYC group’s upwards trajectory. They’ve been on a steady ascent since we first discovered them over four years ago, and now the duo have hit sonic gold yet again with their latest future grunge hit, RIP, out via AWAL. 8 Graves serves up their singular dark emotive sound on the gritty anthem, the second single off their much anticipated fourth EP, White, out October 30th. They explain that RIP is about those thoughts and feelings that keep us awake at night, and how silence and the dark of night can become a playground for our demons. Our own nocturnal anguishes can rest easier now that 8 Graves’ RIP is here to help us dispatch our demons. “RIP talks about how hard it can be to spend time alone with our thoughts,” says singer Brent Carpentier. “As we've gained more of a following, I can always rely on our friends and supporters to encourage me through my days. But when I lay down to sleep, it's a different story. I still have the dark thoughts.The hard times. It's made me extra thankful for the folks that offer their kindness to us through their comments and messages and emails, and it's made me extra wary of the time I spend alone. I think we all have those evenings. Minds racing. Tossing and turning.That's where this song came from.” You can also stream 8 Graves’ latest genre defying single on Spotify, here.
