Bay Area staple alt rock group Finish Ticket are excited to announce the highly awaited release of their sophomore studio album and debut effort via Better Noise Music, “Echo Afternoon”, is confirmed for September 6th, 2024.
Co-produced by Finish Ticket, Jim Kaufman (Danny Worsnop, Helmet, Atlas Genius), and Michael Coleman (Chappel Roan, Sure Sure, Em Beihold), “Echo Afternoon”’s 12 tracks show the band at their most vulnerable as they narrate the struggles and anxiety of being stuck in limbo while trying to find an escape to a brighter future.
The album is an emotional roller coaster allowing listeners who’ve faced the uncertainty in their own lives to relate and to look forward to a brighter future.
Finish Ticket today have released the album’s urgent track “Let You Go” across all digital platforms. The track’s introspective lyrics — “I just want to go where the world can’t get to me / I just want to be alone / Living in my mind with my body far behind / I just want to let you know that I’ll let you go” — are lightened with dreamy soundscapes. Watch the video for “Let You Go” below.
“‘Let You Go’ is about reaching a breaking point and fantasizing about leaving the stress of reality behind”, says vocalist Brendan Hoye. “The song was initially started when our record label at the time had us stuck in a state of limbo, but more specifically is about the freeing thought of leaving music behind when it causes you more frustration than happiness”.
