Neck Deep are back! After recently unveiling their very own app with the statement that "we are so excited to reveal a whole world of news very, very soon", the Wrexham gang have kept their promises by announcing details of their new album All Distortions Are Intentional.
To coincide with this huge news, the band have also released the LP's lead single Lowlife, which will perfectly introduce fans into the conceptual world of album number four. Unlike previous Neck Deep records, All Distortions… has a fictional story to tell, featuring the characters Jett and Alice – with the former living in a place called Sonderland.
“It’s that strange existential realisation that you are not the entire world,” explains frontman Ben Barlow of the word 'sonder' – which is mashed up with 'wonderland' to create this name. “Everyone around you feels and lives the same way that you do. You’re just an extra in their story.”
Of new single Lowlife, Ben adds: “Modern music is so much based around ‘the single’ and writing a record isn’t held in nearly the same regard as it used to be. All Distortions Are Intentional presents a whole story, where there is meaning from every angle of it. All of our records have their themes, but I wanted to create characters, scenes, a world, and have it mean something in the real world, too.”
