Industrial/garage rock quintet Sunndrug is streaming their new single "Halo" now via CLRVYNT. The witchy track will be on the band's debut album Exit Wounds that will be released on 10/31 via Mind Over Matter Records.

"The song is a paradox of feeling love and hate all at once," says vocalist Jimmy Reeves, who was also the original bassist for Spitfire. Joining him in the band is Chris Raines, former drummer of Norma Jean and original drummer of Spitfire.

In an interview with CLRVYNT, Reeves discusses the influence physical media had on him and some of his favorite records. Read the full interview here.

Exit Wounds was mixed by Jeremy Simeon Howell Griffith and mastered by Andreas Magnusson. Digital pre-orders are available now on iTunes with physical being available on 10/14. Hear the album's first two singles "Denial" and "Shining."

About Sunndrug:

No matter how far we wander, we always return home. For Jimmy Reeves and Chris Raines, this is true in the sense of not only their geography but also their musical partnership.

Exit Wounds began as a song-writing outlet for Reeves as he worked his way through a crumbling relationship of over 10 years and his former bandmate was yearning for a new musical venture after his hiatus from the road. The two continued to construct a narrative of a man coming apart at the seams as he attempts to get a fix on a reality that is nothing more than sand in his fist. During this time, Reeves made his way back to Virginia Beach.

The duo completed the song writing and then enlisted a seasoned crew of musicians to help them take these songs to the stage and Sunndrug was officially born.

Their debut record touches on themes of self-loathing and self-idolatry - that voice in your head that whispers to you that no one knows better than you do. Besides, you’re numb. Keep going, no matter the cost.

Exit Wounds is dark not only in its subject matter, but also in its tone and instrumentation. By seamlessly integrating electronics into the ebbing and flowing crashes, parts of this debut LP almost feel industrial, but not without a thick layer of melody floating on top of it. This is the sound of despair. This is the sound of thinking you’ve got it all figured out when nothing is as it seems.
