While She Sleeps Drop New Song, ELEPHANT

Ahead of the release of their new album SO WHAT? this Friday, While She Sleeps have unveiled a brand-new track, ELEPHANT.

“[Previous album] You Are We was us learning how to really listen to ourselves,” says While She Sleeps' guitarist Mat Welsh. “This record is us knowing how to exercise that. You Are We was basically a demo for this record.”

“SO WHAT? is about how easily we all judge everything before we actually know anything about it,” Mat continues. “If we put a really elaborate title on a record with a really elaborate cover, that could give you the option of deciding what you think of it before you’ve listened to anything on it. The one thing we’re putting every bit of our creative juice into is the music.”

Check out ELEPHANT below.

And, while you're here, watch the band's ace SO WHAT? documentary to get even more stoked for the new record.
