It’s been a little over a year since The New Division’s last release so needless to say, the excitement for new music was high. Luckily, we don’t have to wait any longer for TND’s signature synthy goodness as the release of “Fascination” has us all pretty obsessed.
Taken from the band’s upcoming LP, Hidden Memories, “Fascination” dives into the highs and struggles of being on the road while its accompanying video demonstrates modern technology in relationships. The ending, however, displays how nothing beats a real, human connection.
“I’ve always wanted to write a song that touched on the mental health aspects of being on tour, sleep deprived, and how that starts to mess with your thoughts,” frontman John Kunkel shared. “The words are a series of lyrics that I jotted down on a notepad, which at the time made no sense. To me, the song is a dream sequence where half of the time I’m enjoying being on the road while the other half I’m kind of hating life, wishing I was home. Touring never feels completely right and never feels completely wrong, and that’s where the fascination aspect of it all comes together. You’re in a constant zombie state where normal life ceases to exist, and your mind begins to adapt to being on the road.”
“Fascination” is available now here for a limited time on CD with an exclusive bonus track.
