Boston DIY stalwarts Pile have shared "Bouncing in Blue" as the latest preview of their forthcoming ninth album, Sunshine and Balance Beams.

"Bouncing in Blue", a track about releasing control, letting go of certainty, and finding freedom from expectation. The accompanying video, the second of three videos directed by filmmaker Stefan Fernandez, shows vocalist Rick Maguire literally surrendering to the moment as he's carried away by the tides.

"Bouncing in Blue" follows previous singles "Uneasy", a song that channels the horror of civilian death and displacement, and the lead track "Born at Night", which explores the idea that enlightenment might be a myth, leaving only the ongoing cycle of suffering. The video for "Born at Night", featured Deli Boys actor Shahjehan Khan.

Sunshine and Balance Beams, will be released on 15 August via Sooper Records, and is available to pre-order now.
