Fraternal Twin have shared “Medicine,” the latest preview of their first new album in a decade, Halo Fell Forever, arriving September 4. Built around fuzzy, ringing guitars, a driving bassline and cathartic drums, the track captures the struggle to reconnect with a version of yourself that feels lost.
Bandleader Tom Christie describes “Medicine” as his favorite song on the record, explaining that it grew out of his experiences with anxiety, rumination, clinical depression and his decision to begin taking antidepressants. The song ultimately turns toward recovery and the hope of finding that former self again.
“Medicine” arrives with an official video directed by Nara Avakian of Nara’s Room, featuring Christie in a sunlit park beneath layers of vintage camera distortion. The Dan Howard-produced Halo Fell Forever follows 2016’s Homeworlding and is due September 4.
