Little Deaths, the fourth studio album from the six-piece band, The Collection, will be released on August 9, 2024. Producer Jeremy Lutito and engineer Reid Leslie explored new territory as they experimented with unconventional instruments such as duct-taped pianos and rubber-bridged guitars to give the tracks an intimate immediacy. To promote their upcoming album, The Collection has released various singles, including their new track, “The Mood.”
Like other songs on Little Deaths, “The Mood” focuses on the aches, joys, and acceptance of personal growth. Steady percussion and smooth brass accentuate the vulnerable lyrics that share about struggling when opening up to others. Lyrics such as “I start to want to hold the arms / And see if I’ll unwind the yarn” show us this hesitancy when it comes to jumping into relationships.
The Collection’s frontman, David Wimbish, shares his personal connection to “The Mood”:
“I fall in love very easily. My attraction to vulnerability and connection often leads me into being serial-relationship-ness. ‘The Mood’ is about being in love even when you’re not sure you should.”
