Philadelphia art rock act Tulipomania has unveiled their new song "Then and Only Then.”

The song, which can be heard below, stems from the act’s fifth studio album Dreaming of Sleep, which will be released on November 17 via Sursumcorda Records.

Keyboardist/background vocalist Cheryl Gelover said this about the song:

“Memory is malleable – the song explores mutability. Lyrically, it's an internal struggle – sonically it projects that energy into the external world. Catharsis. Of course, the effectiveness of that strategy is debatable – that's the fun of it for those who can appreciate the irony – "knock yourself out". We do however believe the ultimate failure is apathy – never give up – the stakes are too high."

Lead vocalist/Keyboardist Tom Murray also said:

"It’s about wearing yourself out trying to answer the unanswerable. Dealing with endless, groundless self-serving tales. Deciding to keep moving in the absence of a clear destination. Meditative frustration. Finding a groove to loop into – not answering is the answer."

Pre-orders for Dreaming of Sleep can be made here.
