Ahead of their appearance at Slam Dunk Festival later this month, Head Automatica have shared their first new music in 18 years in the form of urgent single ‘Bear The Cross’.
Recently returning after a 15-year hiatus, the surprise single marks a moody evolution for the electronic-pop band.
Speaking on the new single, the band’s Daryl Palumbo has shared:
“To me, ‘Bear The Cross’ is both a logical and unexpected evolution of Head Automatica’s sound.
“The sounds and ideas are very familiar but age undeniably changes your personality, creative leanings and approach. There is an urgency and boldness in what you feel empowered to produce after a certain point. ‘Bear The Cross,” and our new material on the whole are a reflection of that while still constantly maintaining a body moving element.”
Check out the brand-new track below.
‘Bear The Cross’ arrives as Head Automatica prepare for four new shows, including their first New York City performance in 14 years.
