<a href="https://www.morningbearofficial.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">M﻿orning Bear</a>Denver, Colorado - After a long hiatus, Morning Bear awakens from hibernation to release their first new single in 6 years, titled “Splitting of the Wood.”After a series of devastating events and losses, including a global pandemic, the death of three close friends in separate tragedies, and a severe injury, band leader John Runnels was uncertain about his return to music. However, after taking time to heal and reflect, Morning Bear returns with 3 new singles scheduled for release in the coming months, each track recorded with a different Colorado based producer.The debut single, “Splitting of the Wood,” was Recorded with Producer Mark Anderson at his studio in Evergreen, Colorado. The track’s instrumentation is a departure from the purely acoustic arrangements of Morning Bear’s past.A hypnotic landscape of reverbs, synthesizers, and digital kick drums melds seamlessly with the vulnerable guitar and vocal driven style that defines Morning Bear’s music.This fusion elevates the atmosphere to new heights while remaining faithful to the heart and soul of previous releases.Thematically, “Splitting of the Wood,” stands as a testament to the power of human resilience. Exploring themes of grueling work and sacrifice in the face of uncertainty, the track guides listeners through struggles with self-doubt and the fear of failure. The song serves as a meditation on how to persevere through adversity, particularly when progress remains unseen.“Splitting of the Wood” will be released on all platforms on Friday, September 8, 2023.<a href="https://anthonyruptak.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">A﻿nthony Ruptak</a>Anthony Ruptak is a Colorado-based musician who writes and performs his original work with a simple mission: to explore the effects of the human condition. His music ranges from vulnerable acoustic performances to raucous and maximalist multi-instrumental experiences, with his intricate lyrics always at the forefront. Ruptak has been performing in Denver for over 12 years. <a href="https://ourvioletroom.com/home" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">O﻿ur Violet Room</a>Burgeoning Denver artist Our Violet Room - aka Matthew Birch - is gearing up for his second European tour, just off the successful release of his debut album, "Not Where I Thought I'd Be." His song “Winter” was featured on Season 3 Episode 17 of the popular FreeForm show Good Trouble. Writing about the seasons and the changes they bring with them, Birch compares the seasons of nature to the changing seasons that inevitably come with a relationship. The metaphor digs deeper as the lyrics describe trying to hold on to something that is slipping away…. which for Birch was his marriage. Featuring Emma Cole from Wildermiss, “Winter” haunts listeners with breathy lyrics against a driving acoustic guitar - something that is quickly becoming Birch’s signature sound.
