Last year’s ‘Joy, Departed’ LP saw Connecticut four-piece Sorority Noise quickly establish themselves as the go-to for the open-hearted and honest. With a new EP on the way, they’re only set to climb that ladder.

‘It Kindly Stopped For Me’, the aforementioned short player, is being led by ‘Either Way’, a stripped-back number that expands on Sorority Noise’s already fit-to-burst repertoire.

“I wrote this song in our van outside of Chain Reaction in Anaheim, CA,” explains frontman Cam Boucher. “I had found out I lost another friend a few days previous and was having a difficult time thinking about how I had made positive strides in dealing with my mental health, but hadn’t been able to help friends around me that I didn’t know we’re suffering from the same thing.”

It’s a haunting, introspective ode to a lost kindred spirit - one that carries Sorority Noise’s emotional intelligence to the fore. Get the first play of it below, and pre-order ‘It Kindly Stopped For Me’ here.
