about

After the explosive release of their latest single, Suffer Through, in January, Bleak Soul are back with the highly anticipated single, Nostalgia. Written alongside and featuring previous As It Is bandmate, Patty Walters, the single is set to release on 17th February 2023 through Beth Shalom Records.

Discussing the pair's first collaboration since 2018, Langford-Biss said, "So many friendships end when bands part ways or members leave. I never had that with As It Is. Last year especially Patty and I started hanging out more again because the pandemic and our respective touring schedules meant we hadn’t in a while. I had written a song during lockdown when life was pretty dark, and I was especially nostalgic for days in my old band with friends I miss, out seeing the world. Thoughts of the past were better than the present. It wasn’t particularly good for my mental health so the line “nostalgia is the enemy of progress” was born. I especially missed bringing an idea to Patty and had a clear vision for his part, so for this song especially it only felt right to ask him to be involved and finish it together. As It Is were at home for a bit so the timing worked out and we managed to create something positive, that we hope will connect with people perhaps struggling with a longing for the past. Extra emo points for anyone that notices the Jimmy eat world reference in the chorus - that band blocked out the noise and soundtracked me getting to sleep on buses over the years."
