156/Silence have released a new single, “Proxy Idols,” taken from their upcoming album From A Distance, due out September 4 via Pure Noise Records.
Speaking about the song, the band commented on its themes of online culture and celebrity obsession: “Celebrity worship is more prevalent than ever. They come and go as they do, being forced into our faces until then the next batch comes through. People’s obsessive compulsion to follow other people’s lives that they’ll never once meet. It’s almost as sad as it is maddening.”
Following recent touring in support of Thornhill, 156/Silence have also announced a busy live schedule leading into the album release. This includes festival appearances at Inkcarceration on July 18, the “It’s Not You, It’s Me” tour with Chiodos, sace6, and Calva Louise beginning July 30, a short run of headlining dates with Coldstate, and a full U.S. headlining tour in September with Aviana, Heavensgate, and Fromjoy.
From A Distance is available for pre-order now, with “Proxy Idols” also streaming below.
