Planning For Burial are back. Thom Wasluck has announced has announced his experimental metal project’s first new album since 2017: It’s Closeness, It’s Easy is out in May, and today, he’s shared its lead single “A Flowing Field Of Green.”
It’s Closeness, It’s Easy is billed “a soundtrack to life’s quiet changes — grief, love, and the bonds that time can’t break.” It deals with a lot of ideas about aging, quietly mourning the endless possibilities at your disposal when you were younger. Of the sludgy, cinematic “A Flowing Field Of Green,” Wasluck comments in a press release:
When I first wrote it I was thinking about how often on tour or when visiting other cities I’d want to move there, away from everything I know. But I’ve been to a lot of places and lived in a few too and realized everywhere will suck if you let it. You gotta be the change you wanna see, you gotta make the things you want to happen become a reality no matter where you’re at.
