The album, Where Myth Becomes Memory, is set for release Feb. 4 and will feature “Drip” as well as the previously released “Cloaked,” which was the band’s first music since 2018.
Rolo Tomassi also shared a cinematic video for “Drip.” Utilizing artistic double-exposed imagery, the video juxtaposes visuals of a beach, a forest and a field onto shots of the band members.
The group announced the new single and its visual on Instagram, saying, “More new music is coming.”
Where Myth Becomes Memory will serve as the final offering of a musical trilogy from the group, which started with 2015’s Grievances and 2018’s Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It.
“This is a really important album for all of us,” James Spence says. “Of anything we’ve done, it’s the one I’m most proud of. I think it’s the most ambitious and creative that our band has ever sounded and something that we’ve all needed to get through the last few years. We can’t wait to share it and to have you help us bring it to life.”
Where Myth Becomes Memory is out Feb. 4., and you can preorder it here.

“Drip” lyrics:
On the worst days, it’s growing, growing so slowly What to embody? A plea for the remedy Forced into a place that never felt like home And if it takes me here then where is there left to go? To strike before it’s all too late Put to rest, all souls are safe Existing in the maze Memory is imperfect Take my hand, let’s slip beneath the surface On the worst days, I slip, as deceitful as hope is Walking on a knife edge, I traced the line and I leapt It’s been strange and stranger still Freed from the fears that paralyze Always distaste, always regret, the least of it A revelation into reality unspoken Between the signs and the sounds, taking shape encompassing All things begin and end here What it means to be In the aftermath of tragedy What it means to be Finally uncaged and I lost my way Understanding the relevance of the eclipse When I can’t forgive Nothing is ever enough
