Pinkshift have dropped two new singles from their upcoming album ‘Earthkeeper’

Pinkshift have shared a double single featuring new tracks ‘Reflection’ and ‘Don’t Fight’, taken from their upcoming album ‘Earthkeeper’.

The Maryland trio’s new album is set for release on 29th August via Hopeless Records, with the two new tracks showcasing different aspects of the band’s sound.

“‘Don’t Fight’ and ‘Reflection’ are opposite ends of Earthkeeper,” singer Ashrita Kumar explains. “They kind of balance each other out. ‘Don’t Fight’ is grief ignited by anger, and ‘Reflection’ is softness in power.”

Kumar continues, “‘Don’t Fight’ came from an idea [guitarist] Paul [Vallejo] brought to the band, and that’s him singing the choruses. They inspired me in a time of grieving, and I felt drawn to something less melodic. My verses are more like shouted poems, feeling a sense of discord and anguish. ‘Reflection’ is, on the other hand, written from a place of feeling softness and lightness. That reflection is the presence of the Earthkeeper, my friends beyond the veil, and my ancestors.”

The band have announced a series of in-store appearances and tour dates in support of the release.
