Alesana have premiered a new acoustic track titled “Hiatus,” via Revolver. This song is from Revival Recordings’ new compilation “It’s All Acoustic,” which will be released on January 29.
Shawn Mike issued the following statement:
“Shane [Crump] and I wrote ‘Hiatus’ together as a way to examine where we are as friends and bandmates. It is a song about change and the emotions attached to the experience. We wanted the song to be raw, to feel raw. No bells and whistles.
Alesana has been a band for 11 years. Most of us were teenagers when we started this band and now we are grown men with families and new desires to explore fresh pursuits and challenges.
Alesana is such a large part of who and what we are and this song is a recognition that all things, no matter how wonderful, eventually change and transform; but we can’t allow ourselves to forget the journey and how important, and fun, it was getting here.”
