Chicago pop rock band Push Puppets have delivered their new single "All Together On 3" today.
The track, which can be heard here, stems from the band’s forthcoming studio album Tethered Together. Vocalist Erich Specht said this about the new tune:
"I think 'All Together On 3' paints a pretty vivid picture of someone needing help out of a tough situation. This one was very satisfying to see fully realized. It has some math rock moments like phrases and patterns of different lengths keeping things interesting.”
Tethered Together is slated to arrive on May 16 via Flowering Tree Music. This will be the follow up to Push Puppets’ 2022 studio album Allegory Grey. Specht said this about working on the new release:
"This album offers a nod to the artistic excesses of the 70s, whether it's a wall of phased vocals or a moment where guitars and strings rip a quick line together between phrases. The tracks are widely varied yet cohesive - and within a given song, you're likely to be taken elsewhere.
Once it was decided that strings would be on the album, the sound took an interesting twist. At places where I might normally put a guitar hook, I was now composing bold phrases for the live string quartet that the vocal or lead guitar could interact with."
Physical pre-orders for the new record can be made here.
