Middle Child Syndrome just released a new single called "Slate" from the forthcoming album "Listen To Me", and to celebrate we asked mastermind Matt Mueller to tell us about the new song. Here is the story:
"Slate" was a song of contrasts from the start. While the chorus, hook, and first two verses fell right into place, finishing it out demanded significant effort and rework.

This juxtaposition is further recognized between the melody and instrumentation (upbeat and catchy) and the song's true, poignant meaning of a farmer mourning his late wife. (continue)
