The Collection shows raw vulnerability with their new album Little Deaths, which details the aches, joys and acceptance of deep personal growth that frontman David Wimbish experienced during his journey of sobriety. Listen HERE. “Our last record was triumphant. Little Deaths is about vulnerability,” reflects Wimbish. “I’d been isolated and drinking a lot, and I realized I’d lost any sense of presence in the moment. When I got sober, I realized the best — and worst — thing about it was that I felt all my feelings. I felt really vulnerable.” Recording in Nashville with producer Jeremy Lutito (NEEDTOBREATHE, Joy Oladokun, Jars of Clay, etc.) and engineer Reid Leslie created the opportunity to push Little Death’s sound to match the songs’ lyrical vulnerability. Rearranging them with unconventional instruments, from duct-taped pianos to rubber-bridged guitars, gave the songs an intimate immediacy. The result is a nuanced, emotional step inward for the otherwise hyperbolic band. Little Deaths includes the previously released songs “The Come Down,” “Rain It Down,”“Spark of Hope,” “The Weather,” “The Mood,” “Over You,” and breakout single “Medication,” about overcoming the stigma of needing, asking for and getting mental health help. In their time together, the tightly knit, six members of The Collection have inspired listeners with their raucous sound. They built their familial fan base over three independent albums, 2014’s full-length debut Ars Moriendi, Listen To The River [2017] and Entropy [2018]. The latter featured “Beautiful Life,” earning the band praise from American Songwriter, Parade and more, even landing on NPR Tiny Desk Judges’ Picks. This was bolstered by the band’s riotous shows touring with the likes of Oh Hello, RIPE, Tall Heights and Sammy Rae & Friends. Their 2023 EP, How to Survive an Ending, was a post-pandemic roadmap of resolve and celebrating the moment. With Little Deaths, however, Wimbish brings his most personal body of work center stage. |
