Elation and despair are closer than we think, and both are represented amply on Smooth Brain‘s new single ‘Derealization.’ The song delivers bright and insatiably catchy hooks while addressing a dissociative disorder frequently felt but seldom tackled with such candor.
Opening up on the personal new track, lead vocalist Izzy Gunn shares: “I feel like I’ve been having an existential crisis for the last couple years, and it’s really difficult to express that feeling to others.”
Gunn continues: “I can’t stop thinking about the meaning of life every single day and how all of this won’t last forever. Eventually I just go numb and disassociate from the world. This song is me spilling my guts on what that experience has been like.” [via New Noise]
