American folk rocker Ben Crum concluded that most of the songs on the new album by his band Great Lakes are about trying to get to grips with the death of his close friend Ryan Trammel. Loss is the main theme of Fear of the Fear and lead single Why Did My Love Go Away, a gentle swaying song with an early 70s vibe, pictures him as "feeling like a stranger to your side". As a musical challenge he did not use a bridges in the track, which works wonders for the urgency of the lyrics.
Why Did My Love Go Away is released via HHBTM Records. The Fear of the Fear is available for preorder here (vinyl, digital). Release date: August 21.
Live dates:- 08/20- Catskill, NY @ Avalon Lounge (w/ Giant Day)
- 08/21 Philadelphia, PA @ Kung Fu Necktie (w/ Giant Day & The Garment District)
