Soothing vocal hooks, piercing screams, and Deftones worship drive the band's latest track.
Just prior to the weekend, SharpTone Records standouts Boston Manor dropped their second new track of the year, Sliding Doors, guiding listeners through vivid groves and a tour-ready chorus. Like the lyricism it sports, Sliding Doors maximizes its use of melody to carry forth a message that harkens back to the band's foundation.
Lead singer Henry Cox comments on the track:
"Sliding Doors is named after that movie of the same name. I called it that because when we were writing it I started thinking about all of the decisions that I’ve made that have led me to the life I have and how circumstantial a lot of it is. It got me thinking about how Boston Manor started. I’d had a few conversations with Dan [Cunniff, bass] and Mike [Cunniff, lead guitar] (who I barely knew at the time) about starting a band. But at that time I was in art school in a different city and I had a bunch of other stuff going on. I was also starting like two other bands with different people so I figured it was just something that you talk about."
He adds:
"We tried to reflect this in the music video, the idea being it’s loads of different realities, some of which I’m a musician some of which I’m doing something totally different. The die hard fans might recognise the final location which is where we shot our very first music video, long since scrubbed from the internet. In a way the band we’re in now feels like an alternate reality to the band we started. I look back at old videos and I barely recognise us!"
