Coventry’s SENSES signed to 42’s Records last month and release a rocking new single “DROP YOUR ARMS” this Friday, 24th March as the second of 3 singles leading up to the release of their debut album LITTLE PICTURES WITHOUT SOUND on 21st April 2023
Ronan O’Connor (Bass):
“We are buzzing to be working with 42’s Records – the response to HARDER NOW as our first single on the label was amazing, now we are stepping things up again with DROP YOUR ARMS.
It’s about dropping your guard, being vulnerable, taking a risk, fighting for something or someone you believe in.
‘Is this the best dream you’ve ever had? Is this the best dream you won’t allow?’
It’s a song that came from jamming in rehearsals rather than one somebody brought to a session.
There was a real urgency and energy there which comes across especially the way drums are pushing the song, and from there layers of guitars came in.
With a wild breakdown, tonnes of feedback and samples it was probably one of the first songs we started to find our sound on. By the time the last double chorus comes around you can just about catch your breath!
This the second of 3 singles 42’s Records are releasing in quick succession, paving the way for our debut album on 21st April“
SENSES create genre hopping evocative soundscapes, with arena ready hooks forming a compelling sound – Harder Now is one piece of a magnificent debut album.
Equally influenced by shoegaze romanticism, alternative experimentation, and indie ambition, they have been making music and gigging around the UK since they formed whilst at school in Coventry, bonding over a love of diverse, underground music.
A certain chemistry was apparent from the outset, and they have remained a solid unit despite now being located in Coventry, London and Germany.
With the long-awaited release of their debut LP (Vinyl, CD and Digital) ‘Little Pictures Without Sound,’ they are set to reach their largest audience yet.
With uplifting anthems beside more emotive and introspective songs, connected by mysterious snippets of spoken word, the album takes on a cinematic quality, finding beauty in everyday life.
It is a triumphant statement from a band ready for their moment in the spotlight after a long journey.
