Ahead of the release of their new album with you in spirit, available October 4th and produced by Will Yip, Balance and Composure have shared the title-track. The forthcoming new LP, is the band’s first in close to a decade. The LP will be released by Yip’s label, Memory Music (Turnover, Fantasy Camp). They’ll hit the road for a run of headlining shows next month with support from Kevin Devine & the Goddamn Band and Milly.

Light We Made was meant to be Balance’s final full-length record. When they announced their breakup in 2019, things weren’t clicking the way they used to; it felt like the group had run out of road. But when the pandemic took hold the following year and ripped away all routine, Simmons started to miss his long-time bandmates. Eventually, Petersen reached out with a simple question: how would they feel about simply trying to write music together again? Everyone agreed—the absence had weighed heavily on them, and the friends gathered in October 2022 and began to write new songs.

“I began to feel like a kid again,” says Simmons. “We were writing these songs for the pure reason of having an outlet and getting together with your friends, no pressure. We were longing for it, and we found it as soon as we got together. We didn’t want that train to stop.”
