Between The Buried And Me Premiere "Absent Thereafter"

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME have released a new single, "Absent Thereafter," from their forthcoming album The Blue Nowhere, due out September 12th via InsideOut Music.

Vocalist/Keyboardist Tommy Rogers comments on the track, “To me, ‘Absent Thereafter’ feels like the quintessential BTBAM song – fun, intense, spacy, and still fucking heavy. I like to think it takes the listener on an unexpected journey, with ear candy waiting around every corner. It’s a deeper dive into all of the dynamic places you’re taken within The Blue Nowhere!

Bassist Dan Briggs expands, “This song moves arrangement-wise in two parts divided by a key change and tonal shift of the chorus, but is ultimately the big fun time bombastic energy of a Van Halen shuffle with Huey Lewis and the News horns going through variations that are sometimes heavily syncopated, sometimes lost in space, and sometimes inspiring you to break out into a do-si-do. Grab your washboard and let’s go!
