Channeling a little bit of Sunny Day Real Estate in their brand new song, Hartford punk four-piece Sorority Noise unveil their more delicate side. “XC” is their second single off of their upcoming record, beautifully titled It Kindly Stopped For Me.

With the thinnest layer of piano and a xylophone popping out of raw guitars and percussion, the band brings to life a spine-tingling tale of post-3am thoughts that we sometimes witness transform into reality. “I was doing an overnight drive this fall and was thinking about my friend who had taken his life this summer, about how quickly death can come, and kinda just wrote this song via a voice memo, just talking about the lyrics while everyone else slept,” lead vocalist Cam Boucher shares with The Fader.

You can check out “XC” below. It Kindly Stopped For Me is due out on April 22 via Topshelf. Additionally, the band is currently on the road alongside Citizen, Turnover, and Milk Teeth. You can find a full list of dates below.
