Sydney quintet The Mission in Motion have just released their latest single “New Skin,” a teaser from their soon-to-be released album Somewhere Safe. Head to the band’s MySpace page to hear the track.
“New Skin is our weekend song,” explained the band’s front man Brett Islaub. “We wanted to write a song about letting everything go, having a few drinks and having a good time with your friends.”
The long play is the follow up to their 2008 EP A Curse, A Calling, but don’t think the band has been idle. They’ve been tearing up the live circuit with acts like Stealing O’Neal, Elora Danan, and Wherewolves, not to mention their own headlining shows and appearances at Soundwave and a youth festival in Singapore.
So clearly we can forgive the band for taking so long to churn out the album. To appease us, the disc will come packaged with B-sides and rarities for a limited time. Somewhere Safe will hit stores on July 30.
