Ahead of the arrival of their first album in 13 years, Otherness, Alexisonfire have just shared the next single from the record: Sans Soleil.

Says vocalist George Pettit of the band's latest track, “Wade [MacNeil] came in with the lyrics for this song around the same time he had been working on the Dooms Children record and I feel like it shows. The Dooms Children album touched on a lot of things extremely personal to Wade and this song is definitely in that vein.”

Wade himself shares, "This song is about hanging onto hope during the heaviest times. Healing and letting go. Dreaming of a future where all this hurt is behind you."

Otherness is due out on June 24 via Dine Alone Records.
