Canadian rockers Protest The Hero’s six-song effort Pacific Myth will receive a proper release next month. The songs were previously only available through a crowdfunded subscription service. The group said of it:
“Pacific Myth was purely an experiment. Normally, we take as much time as we need to write records – lots of which is spent procrastinating. With Pacific Myth, we didn’t have that luxury – we promised to release 1 song per month on the 15th of each month for 6 months running. What we discovered in writing these tunes was the fact that strict deadlines (even if self-imposed) do not allow for over-thinking – something we are incredibly guilty of on our four existing full length albums. Surprisingly, the constricting time frame lead to some risks in writing we wouldn’t have normally taken – or at least some risks we would normally have had the time to identify as “too risky” and then re-worked until we felt safe again. For this reason, it’s a totally “go-with-your-gut” record and one we are extremely proud of.”
For those that weren’t subscribed to the service, you can now listen to the song “Harbinger” and view the cover art and track listing for Pacific Myth. The EP will be available in physical and digital formats through Razor & Tie on November 18th. CD and vinyl versions can now be pre-ordered through MerchNOW, while digital copies can be secured via the Bandcamp player below.
