Recollection have today unleashed the Intrusive Thoughts EP via DAZE, on their latest release the band have crafted four songs that are as dynamic as they are nostalgic. The band blend assertive vocals with undeniable hooks and punchy rhythms with jangly melodies, creating a sound that sits somewhere between hardcore punk and indie rock. Each track resonates on a different period of life, from navigating through finding your place in the modern world on Lost In Translation, to reflecting on memories associated with certain songs on Turntable. The EP’s title track finds vocalist Josh Hynes joined by his wife Cherish in vocal harmony, creating an instant earworm whilst closing track Son serves as the EP’s most urgent and emotional track, acting as a catalyst to not let go of oneself.

“When you are younger you live your life carrying a chip on your shoulder as a sort of cross to bear. Not to say some of us still don’t carry one to some degree, but as we’ve gotten older we’ve reached a level of security where it feels liberating to show and express different aspects of emotion and vulnerability. The name Recollection was a perfect fit for this band because the songs reflect past life experiences both good and bad that I still look back upon today. I’ve been friends with some of my band mates for over 23 years. We’ve all grown together through the different seasons of our lives, and these songs are a take on that.” (Josh Hynes)
