In The Whale Return with New Single “Highways”
Denver-based rock outfit In The Whale have just unveiled their brand new single Highways, the first hard-hitting single to be lifted from their upcoming EP, Dopamine, out August 3rd. 

Highways explores the raw emotion that accompanies the sacrifice of conventional lifestyle for a life at the mercy of rock ‘n’ roll. Beautiful fuzzed out guitars and abrasive drums! Loving it! Stream this gem below!



The single spools out a nostalgic, grunge rock vibe, but with a fresh and modern sound thanks to producer, engineer, and mixer Steve Evetts, whose work expertise spans from The Dillinger Escape Plan to Every Time I Die to Glassjaw.

Speaking about the song, singer and guitarist Nate Valdez said,
Steve was adamant about capturing In The Whale's live sound and energy. That produced a recording that is like nothing we've done in the past.
‘Highways’ is a song to our loved ones about how us and so many other artists sacrifice most of our creature comforts, not to mention relationships and financial stability, for the road.
The duo, comprised of Valdez and drummer Eric Riley, acknowledges the inevitable human yearn for a sense of home, but this rock pair lingers in favor of an atypical lifestyle, finding elements of home on the highways.

The band is also announcing a summer long tour to support the forthcoming EP.
