"Sonically, it's a pivot from everything that the band has been up to this point. It's a breakup song at its core, but one where you're witnessing it from outside ruins.

Portland, Oregon rockers Forty Feet Tall just released their new single "Isochronism" along with a trippy video and video and to celebrate we asked them to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
The last couple of months leading up to writing this song, we'd been listening to a lot more doom and psych music, bands like Orb and Meatbodies. Our producer, Cameron Spies, always talks about how the Osees have mastered light, agile verses that are then juxtaposed with a huge riff or chorus that blows your head off and we knew we wanted to write something like that.
