Earlier this month, POP ETC confirmed a new album is coming soon. Now, they've shared the first single.

On Thursday, the band released their glimmering new single "Slips Away," which is the lead single off their upcoming record Over the Moment. The song opens with a spoken word contribution from actor Jason Schwartzman. The track was produced and recorded by the band largely at home during quarantine, and now it's ready for your ears!

"We all try to hold on to the past. No matter how futile or ridiculous it may seem," says frontman Chris Chu about the new song. "Why do we have so much trouble accepting that everything comes to an end? I know I’m still fighting it. Still trying to be a kid. Still trying to hold on to the joy and carefreeness of that time."

Chu adds: "There’s an energy and life to the past that we keep grasping at, and yet it always slips away. But it’s not just a sad story. There’s real liberation that comes with acceptance. A freedom and richness that we can tap into once we embrace that everything is fleeting. 'Slips Away' is about trying to get there.”
