C.O.F.F.I.N share their first acoustic track, "13 Days"

"13 Days" follows previous singles "Sleep In It" and "Think Bad", showcasing a more stripped-back side to the Australian punk quartet. Speaking about how the song came together, vocalist and drummer Ben Portnoy explains: "'13 Days' was the last song written for the album, and was originally an acoustic solo track I had been working on. Producer Declan Mehrtens asked if we had anything in the works that was a real step-away from our compositional comfort zone. 'Kosty had been staying at my place and overheard me the night before on the acoustic tinkering with a solo song and suggested, “What about that one from last night?'"

"One rule we had for this record was to not rule anything out when writing it, and the guys were really supportive and excited about the idea of having our first acoustic track on this album," he continues. "We were also reminded that any song is a C.O.F.F.I.N song once we’re all playing it together. We’re lucky not to feel restricted by a genre or external expectations."

"Lyrically, the song documents the folly of our legal system through the story of two friends who were facing potential jail time for acts of on-the-street justice (that didn’t involve anyone being hurt)," he adds. "They were given 13 Days from January 1 to figure out their defence AND fund it!"
