»Red Sky Mourning« is Soul Blind’s highly anticipated sophomore effort, ten tracks spanning 35 minutes with big shoes to fill. When the alt-hard rock favorites took the world, and live stages, by storm in the wake of their critically loved and popular 2022 debut Feel It All Around, fans cherished the band’s take on 90s alternative in droves. Now with a new sound and a new lease on life, Soul Blind might be utterly unrecognizable from their previous selves. That is until that unmistakable curtain of guitars starts to engulf like molten hot magma, coupled with subterranean melodies that apply a white-knuckle grip around the throat and don’t let go. In the best way, naturally.
Today, the album’s second single »Dyno« hand landed alongside a music video. Soul Blind’s Finn Lovell says the song is “…a personal favorite among the band. I’ll never forget how excited we all were when we first started workshopping it. It’s a perfect representation of the darker and heavier sound we set out to achieve with the new record.”

To harness the power of their live show, Soul Blind congregated at Animal Farm in Flemington, NJ to record for a month, a space that incubated records by Drug Church, Drain, KOYO and countless others. There the band explored their love for Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Melvins, mid to late-era Killing Joke, The Cure and all manner of early 90s alternative rock, boiling them down to an essence and passing them through Soul Blind’s hardcore and DIY-inflected sieve. The contained nature of the sessions yielded results that are a pensive, emotional journey through pain, isolation and darkness until eventual redemption and hope could be found with the rising sun.
Formed in 2018, Soul Blind has been a collaborative effort musically speaking, and the new album proved no different, with all four members contributing to the songwriting. The collective result is a magnifying glass into the lives of four discrete individuals coming to terms with their own humanity, growing and progressing as individuals. “When you’re in a band like Soul Blind, and it’s four people who are each songwriters, I really don’t think I would have been able to contribute what I did if I hadn’t gotten sober,” recalls guitarist Finn Lovell. “And my new sobriety definitely affected the record in several different ways. But we all individually had turmoil– whether it was my budding sobriety, helping a partner grieve the loss of a loved one, or understanding our own thoughts and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. All of it shows on »Red Sky Mourning« and I think that honesty shines brightly.”
