With the hazy days of summer now a distant memory and the daily grind of work and school an all-too vivid reality, Berries new single, Jagged Routine, is a song for anyone out there struggling with life’s routines. With a score that veers and lurches with wild abandon, Jagged Routine‘s non-conformist sentiments are adeptly complemented by savage riffs and searing solo breaks aplenty. Far from a routine outing for the trio, this electrifying new single is one of the immense highlights of their upcoming self titled album that will be released on 18th October via Xtra Mile Recordings.
“It’s about the need for variety, and unpredictability, so that no two days, weeks, months or years are the same. The idea that not having a repetitive schedule, or a rhythm of doing things is generally seen as a negative thing and the song invites you to challenge this notion. It prompts people to reflect on why their way of living is deemed superior to those who take a different approach. It acknowledges that not everyone is the same; while some thrive with structure, others flourish in freedom. It advocates for those people who are told how to live, or why they must live a certain way, when the reality is, it doesn’t work for them. Ultimately, “Jagged Routine” is about the beauty of unpredictability and for some people the most authentic way to live is to embrace the jagged edges of non-routines.”
The band will be heading out on a run of UK tour dates later this month in support of their new album where Berries will be performing new material and more.
