For Those I Love shares first track in almost four years, "Of The Sorrows"

Paired to a self-directed video, David Balfe had the following to say about the new material: “When I wrote "Of The Sorrows", it felt like I was bargaining with myself. It was one of the first songs I’d written to myself, for myself, while still trying to embody the feelings and thoughts of my closest peers. At its heart, "Of The Sorrows" is about a city rapidly boxing you out, and the choices you make in order to stay.

“I started to shoot the video for "Of The Sorrows" on Christmas Day. I traded a couple hundred hours, a broken hard drive (had to start again), my sense of patience, and a broken leg I got on the last day of filming. But I could make peace with that deal. It felt good to give so much life to a project about a dying city,” he continues.

After the significant impact of his self-titled 2021 debut album, why the prolonged time between its release and now? “There was a time I did feel like I didn't have anything to say as I have no interest in populating space for the sake of it,” Balfe says. “Then one day it all just started to come out."
