SeeYouSpaceCowboy are ushering in their next era with a new single called “Chewing The Scenery.”
Earlier this year, AP caught up with vocalist Connie Sgarbossa and explored how their new album, which they recorded shortly before joining Silverstein on tour, will move beyond their screamo and sass influences. Rather, they’re finding catharsis in dance music, drawing inspiration from Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm and Two Door Cinema Club’s Tourist History.

“This is one of the first songs we wrote when we locked ourselves in a cabin in the Poconos to figure out what we wanted to do with the sound of SYSC moving forward. Somehow me saying I wanted a waltz part in a song turned into this expansion of the chaotic post-hardcore sound we had done on The Romance of Affliction, but with sprinkles of new, ‘brighter’ elements we wanted to sprinkle into the new songs that we were making. This track served as a proof of concept for the beginning of playing around with whatever we wanted to and showed us that we can push without the confines of genre and style and still create something that sounded cohesive.
“Lyrically, this song reflects the melodrama and conflict of relationships but recontextualized as a theatrical play you are putting on for the world,” she continues. “It deals with the debate about whether love can be just bliss and happiness, or if you have to acknowledge and accept the pain and frustration that can and most likely will accompany it, as well as dealing with that realization.”
