Manchester goth rock band IST IST have released a new and warm rock song that dawns upon us as we bathe in the softening light of this Saturday afternoon. They bring enraging soundscapes, captivating hooks, and comforting vocals that sing us through the dark woods filled with IST IST’s sounds.
‘Lost My Shadow’ is a bold statement opening the band’s promising upcoming year. The single is the first in a series of new releases and it is a meaningful one at that. Frontman Adam Houghton elaborates on the meaning behind ‘Lost My Shadow’: “Your shadow is the last thing you own after you’ve lost everything else. Someone who has nothing left to lose has everything to gain and it makes them fearless. Maybe the position we’ve found ourselves in where we need to be fearless and take this band far and wide was on my mind.”
Seeing the band position themselves in a place of fearlessness and not being afraid to put themselves out there is what makes their latest a strong and confident statement that, if it were to appear on an album, the album would surely bring us great joy.
