It will arrive on February 4 via Fearless Records. The band has dropped the new song “ IN THREES,” featuring Set It Off’s Cody Carson and Jordy Purp, over at Alternative Press. “‘IN THREES’ was inspired by spending too much time all alone in your head,” says Walters to AP. “You start to build an alternate reality, where what’s ‘true’ is twisted and contorted, and after enough time, it becomes reality. It’s an intensely dark listen, both lyrically and musically, but it was a total opposition experience to create.” And it leaves you hurt and spiteful and violent and numb. Once we had penned the lyric ‘Tragedy comes in threes,’ we knew the track would feel incomplete (if only to us) without a third artist attached, and our friend JordyPurp crafted such an insane feature to finalise the concept.” He continues, “We wrote this one with our good friend Cody Carson, who brought this infectious joy and creativity to the studio.

This song has aggression, vulnerability, meaningfulness, genuine pain, and acceptance. We really went in and had SO much fun making this. ![]() We were legit seeing the music video in our heads as we were writing the song itself. The way it begins with the loud bass synth paired with the fire alarm to the octave gliding distorted guitars in the chorus.” This song to me is the definition of new alt. He closes, “Weirdly enough, I just sent a video to the As It Is boys before we even wrote this and my fire alarm went off during the video.
