overpass have dropped ‘Heaven’ ahead of their debut album ‘Elsewhere, Always’

Birmingham outfit overpass have dropped 'Heaven', a new track lifted from their upcoming debut album 'Elsewhere, Always', due on 5th June through Communion.

Closing the record on a note of optimism, 'Heaven' finds vocalist Max Newbold delivering a falsetto vocal performance across a track that represents a shift in tone for the band. A live performance video filmed at Fazeley Studios in Digbeth accompanies the release.

Speaking about the track, Max said: "This song is about the push and pull of a relationship. The couple have a deep connection but keep drifting apart, still trying to bring it together and rescue it. It's hopeful and vulnerable, but also self-aware - acknowledging the cycles of running and hiding even as it pleads for a different ending. This felt like a real mature kind of song, the chord progression always reminded me of Jeff Lynne's 'Telephone Line' and Burt Bacharach."
