Iconic emo band Sunny Day Real Estate has released their first music for fans to check out in around ten (agonising) years.
The outfit last released tracks on a split 7″ with Circa Survive back in 2014 titled ‘Lipton Witch,’ but with the release of “Novum Vetus,” fans finally have a new slice of Seattle-tinged emo to chew on.
Music News: Sunny Day Real Estate New Song
The track was originally created back in 1998 during the “How It Feels To Be Something On” sessions (via BrooklynVegan), and original members Jeremy Enigk, Dan Hoerner, and William Goldsmith got together with current guitarist Greg Suran and bassist Chris Jordan to record the track at Seattle’s London Bridge Studio.
Diary – Live at London Bridge Studio is set to come out on May 3rd, and you can check out the 7-minute “Novum Vetus” below:
