Telebox have released ‘Shadow Of A Heart’, a song about addiction and recovery

Telebox have announced their new single ‘Shadow Of A Heart’, out today (23rd May).

The Galway quartet, who have recently supported NewDad and Fat Dog, blend atmospheric shoegaze with alternative rock and post-punk elements.

The band discuss the meaning behind ‘Shadow Of A Heart’, saying: “Shadow of a heart is an insight into the destructive nature of addiction and alcoholism, showing the decay of the person themselves physically and morally as well as the effects it has on their relationships. It’s about hurt that doesn’t pass, deep rooted wounds that can swallow a person before they’ve realized what’s happened. Musically, we wanted to capture the frantic mind of an active addict and the underlying urge for escape that echoes in their head, the screaming for release. Lyrically, we aimed to convey an insider’s perspective of witnessing that person suffer in loneliness, being judged by others who don’t know their story.”

The single was recorded in Ballyvaughan with producer Daithí Ó Dronaí. The artwork was created by Cian Carr, Lilymay Healy, Ruby Aron, and Stevie Healy.
