Written over the last couple of years, "You Were Right Here But So Far Away" marks the first studio recordings from songwriter Joseph Lacy (The Record Play, Transit). With friends sharing co-production credits, the debut EP came to life and was initially released in the summer of 2024. The songs are heavy yet beautiful, blending influences of emo and alternative rock from bands like Starflyer 59, The Appleseed Cast, The Gloria Record, and Elliott. Thematically, the four songs explore grief, memories, and dread that come from losing a loved one. Lacy dedicates "Spider ring (song for tim)" to his late, beloved friend and musician, Tim Landers. "You Were Right Here But So Far Away" is now being reissued on Sunday Drive Records this fall. The band has expanded to a full lineup, (ft. members of Infernal Diatribe: Brandon Lamontagne, Matthew Heath, Chris Mathews) begun playing their first live shows, and started writing their next record.
