half•alive Releases New Song “Automatic”
Long Beach-based alt-pop trio half·alive, consisting of Josh Taylor (vocals/guitar), Brett Kramer (drums) and J. Tyler Johnson (bass), released a new song “Automatic” along with a music video on October 11, 2024.
The song is the second single off of their upcoming third studio album “Persona”, which is set to be released on November 15, 2024.
The new album comprises 11-songs, featuring guest appearances from Kacy Hill and Jordana, produced by Tommy King and half•alive.
The track was written by Brett Kramer, J Tyler Johnson, Joshua William Taylor, Nate Campany, Skyler Stonestreet, and Tommy King. Produced by Tommy King and half•alive.
The accompanying video was directed by Josh Taylor.
In the clip, two monster mascots, named Sonny and Cher, dance with the staff at an auto repair shop.
The band said of the song, “We had a lot of expressive songs on the record, but nothing angry. An angry song is a bit challenging for us actually. We can write songs you can dance or nod your head to all day, but a song where you can thrash around or run fast to is different.”- They continued, “A song worth being loud about comes from somewhere deep inside the gut, from looking at some ugly part of human nature and screaming at it— in this case it's an ache for a healthy world and a call for accountability in how we are hurting it. 'watch the world burn, kiss it away, notice your heart, breaking like waves… everybody's talking bout it, still you keep your head down, lose yourself in the static, blame it on each other'”.
