Fail, Grasp, Restore

by Chalk Hands

As a first single (and opening track of our upcoming debut album) we wanted something that encapsulates everything the band is about, from huge emotional post-rock builds to frantic math-rock tinged screamo sections, always following a nonlinear structure that takes you on an ever-changing journey.
