Escape The Box wrestle with fatherhood and finding yourself on ‘Great’

Escape The Box confront the collision between becoming a parent and still trying to understand yourself on powerful new single ‘Great’.

The track is a personal exploration of newfound fatherhood, capturing the pressure of suddenly being responsible for another life while your own identity remains a work in progress. That tension fits naturally into the world of the UK outfit, whose music repeatedly finds strength in placing vulnerability alongside enormous, uncompromising sounds.

‘Great’ forms part of new EP D.E.A.D. (Dead Ends & DayDreams) and is their own favourite from the project. It’s easy to understand why: rather than pretending fatherhood provides instant answers, Escape The Box capture the far more compelling reality of learning how to guide someone else while still finding your own way.
