The Gorge is now streaming their perfectly sludgy single "A Decision Was Made" from their upcoming record Mechanical Fiction due out July 28.
"The themes of this song, and the whole of Mechanical Fiction explore an acceptance of loved ones leaving this existence of their own accord," said The Gorge of the single. "While tragic and heartbreaking, I have tried to work through my own grief by seeking a sense of understanding and empathy. I've always had a soft spot for music that pits upbeat or major key-sounding themes against more somber lyrical ideas.
"For this song, combining heavily personal subject matter against the odd-time bounciness of the main tapping theme presented a creative challenge."
Pre-orders for Mechanical Fiction are available here.
