Southern Californian alt-rock band Movements have shared two new singles, “Killing Time” and “Lead Pipe”, plus videos directed by Drew Horen. The tracks are produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Menzingers), and released on Fearless Records.

“We feel they are the perfect introduction to a new era of Movements,” the band states about the new material. “These songs incorporate the core values and themes you’d expect from a Movements song — but they’re packaged up in a much different manner.”

The band states that “Killing Time” is “a love song with a dark, self-deprecating undertone. The verses are gritty and dense, the choruses open up into an almost pop-centric singalong before diving into a crushing bridge that exemplifies a love so strong that it can (and probably will) end up killing the narrator.”

On the flip side, “Lead Pipe” is a fast, driving, and intense tune, with the band deeming it “a classic mental health track, but one that you probably wouldn’t expect or even realize on first listen. The narrator here is describing the moment they realize their dark past is coming back to haunt them. Something they thought they’d overcome is suddenly knocking at the door and will do anything to get back in. However, this time is different. Our narrator is hellbent on ending that struggle once and for all, and has chosen to fight back instead of give in.”

Movements’ 2020-released album No Good Left to Give debuted at #3 on the Alternative chart. Before that, they dropped the EP Outgrown Things in 2016 and the 2017 full-length debut Feel Something.

Fans can expect more new music from Movements soon.
