On the new record they continue to build off their staple influences – the dramatic, textural, post-rock sounds of bands like Godspeed! You Black Emperor, This Will Destroy You, and Sigur Rós, while adding Stars of the Lid and Radiohead-like elements, experimenting with ambient textures and loops, ultimately creating a cinematic score. The quartet has shared the stage with the likes of Pianos Become The Teeth, The Body, Ringo Deathstarr, So Hideous, and Inter Arma.
The new record is a concept album, telling a story influenced by an old Buddhist teaching. It follows a character who has become disenchanted with the world and all of its suffering and anxiety. He embarks on a path which ultimately shows him that the world is illusionary and that he can create the world he wants to live in, in his mind.
Earlier last year, Richmond post-rockers Everyone Dies In the End returned with a thought provoking video for “Don’t Forget to Breathe” (watch below), off the record The Space Between Spaces, which is available now through Still Water Recordings. The effort was engineered and mixed by Allen Bergendahl, with additional mixing from Jeremy Moody, and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Torche, Chelsea Wolfe).

The band commented:
“From our first album on there’s a sense of isolation, at least when I’m writing. It comes from being autistic, as well as dealing with chronic depression, OCD and so on. So this record’s concept is about an inner revolution really; making changes in yourself so that you can try to make the world a better place. I think it’s no secret that there’s a lot of bad things going on around us right now, with a lot of people being marginalized and targeted, so it’s important now that we help each other, and hopefully we can positively change things. I know a lot of people feel isolated right now, and hopefully this album’s theme of transcendence helps someone else; even for just a little bit.
Even though this record has its own individual story, I think it’s the second part of a trilogy. The first album deals thematically with being born in darkness and surrounded by it. This album begins with the idea of being disillusioned because of it, but ultimately finding a way to overcome that internally. The third record will be about empowerment; to be that physical change. But right now, this record is about personal liberation, and not giving in to the hatred.”
