Static Dress have shared the third track from their upcoming new album ‘injury episode’, and it shows off how they can nail the melodic as much as the chaotic.

Titled ‘…hospice’, it slows the pace from previous singles but doesn’t skip on any of the drama and decadence. Pulling from the sort of soaring songwriting that bolstered the likes of My Chemical Romance when they wore their hearts even more firmly on their sleeves back in the day, it ebbs and flows between tear-stained and tenacious, with vocalist Olli Appleyard pushing himself into even more delicate and devastating fields.

The result is truly beautiful and reminds you to expect the unexpected when it comes to a band as multifaceted and exploratory as SD.

‘injury episode’ will be released on May 29 via Sumerian Records.

It will also feature the Underoath-guesting ‘Nostalgia Kills’, which sounds a lot like this:
