Alesana are now streaming their brand new acoustic song titled “Hiatus” which will be a part of Revival Recording’s new compilation titled It’s All Acoustic. The compilation is set to release on January 29th and will also feature Alesana’s “Dancing Alone” as well. Check out “Hiatus” below and read a statement by vocalist Shawn Mike.
“Shane [Crump, bassist] and I wrote ‘Hiatus’ together as a way to examine where we are as friends and bandmates. It is a song about change and the emotions attached to the experience. We wanted the song to be raw, to feel raw. No bells and whistles. Alesana has been a band for 11 years. Most of us were teenagers when we started this band and now we are grown men with families and new desires to explore fresh pursuits and challenges. Alesana is such a large part of who and what we are and this song is a recognition that all things, no matter how wonderful, eventually change and transform; but we can’t allow ourselves to forget the journey and how important, and fun, it was getting here.”
– Shawn Mike (vocalist)
