Faux Pas Reveal New Single “Alternate Ending”

Coming quickly off the back of previous single, This Will Kill You, with the pair forming the record’s book ends, Alternate Ending is the second track taken from Faux Pas‘s forthcoming EP, I Feel Pretty, So Should You. Three and a half minutes of driving, grungey catharsis, that is combined with a quiet understated sense of melody that reflects the track’s inherent optimism, something that is inherent across EP on a whole. A purgative and cleansing experience, if not strictly an easy one, it carries a vital message at a time when mental health issues and suicide are massively on the rise.

“The song represents a kind of six months later scenario from the record. The idea for it first came about when I found out my brother was going to be having a little girl. At the time I was told I was staying with my mother after a string of relapses and struggling to avoid suicidal thoughts. The knowledge that I was soon to have a niece prompted me to quit taking drugs permanently and to hold on, so I could be someone who hopefully one day they could have a beautiful relationship with. The EP runs as one continuous piece of music, with ‘This Will Kill’ You and ‘Alternate Ending’ being the first and last track respectively. If you want to see how we get from point A to B, check out ‘I Feel Pretty, So Should You’ on October 8th.”
