Brand New Heartache “Raise the Shade”
Americana Highways presents this premiere of Brand New Heartache’s song “Raise the Shade” from their forthcoming album. The album was produced and mixed by Michael Patterson and engineered by Ryan Sandlin, Squirrel, and Steve Bern.
“Raise the Shade” is Matthew and Eleese Meschery on vocals; Matthew Szlachetka on electric and acoustic guitars; Jimmy Wallace on keys; Darren King on drums; and Sarah Ailli on background vocals.
As Matthew Meschery tells us, “‘Raise the Shade’ is about reconciliation — written in the wake of our own dark stretch, when we weren’t connecting and weren’t sure how to find our way back. The song picks up just after a fight, in that fragile space between bitterness and breakthrough. In that moment, it felt like the only way forward was to let a little light and air into the room — and to reconnect with the things that brought us together in the first place. For us, that meant music, humor, and time in nature. It’s a love song for the aftermath — when connection doesn’t come easy, but you choose it anyway. With lyrical nods to Chaka Khan and The Jayhawks, and a wink toward the hard-earned wisdom of therapy, “Raise the Shade” turns vulnerability into something triumphant.”
Upbeat with vibrant vocals harmozing amidst swirls of guitars and keys, this song will raise your spirits: “it’s been far too long the we’ve been feeling blue.”
