Coheed And Cambria are back with a lyric video for their brand new single Shoulders.
It’s Coheed’s first new music since 2020’s Jessie’s Girl 2 collaboration with Rick Springfield – a song which followed their 2018 album The Unheavenly Creatures.
Speaking about the new track, Coheed And Cambria vocalist and guitarist Claudio Sanchez explains: “In art, in your career, in relationships… no matter how much you give of yourself or try, you have to accept that not everything in life can be a perfect fit.”
In a recent interview with Consequence Of Sound, Sanchez gave some hints to how they're approaching their new album.
He said: “A lot of times, with bands who’ve been around and built a strong fanbase like we have, I think there might be a tendency, intentionally or unintentionally, to try to give the fans what they want and not take too many risks.
“But after making music for so long and entering a pandemic, we didn’t want limitations to the creative process. The next record is going to be what I hope people perceive this band to be in 2021/2022.
“It’s a modern record. It’s a Coheed And Cambria record, but it’s looking forward, not backwards.”
The release of Shoulders comes a month after Coheed And Cambria announced a co-headline US tour with The Used. The run of 18 dates will kick off in Los Angeles on August 27 and wrap up on September 24 in Jacksonville.
