It is. It could need some production and touching up, but it's a beautiful song imho. They probably think it's not for the new album so they've released it almost a year after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I think it's beautiful. Interesting to hear Neil's demo vocals here - obviously it's quite rough and ready, but he's singing with passion, and there's an interesting edge to his voice which we don't usually hear.

Or maybe he just had a cold.

Another excellent set of lyrics. this song seems to have flown under the radar, we seem to know beforehand all of the unreleased stuff. Will have to visit Geowaynes site to see if it was mentioned before.

No, they just surprise-dropped it on the social medias.

Neil sounds ... different!

An unexpected, beautiful and dark song. Love the lines:

The past isn’t even past
That’s how long it lasts

Not double tracked, it's probably recorded in one take.

I think it’s only just been written and demoed. The lyrics seem to reference a visit by Putin that only just happened. The PSB instagram page mentioned it six days ago
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book. If I could read your mind, I think I'd take a look.
