The album’s first single “In The Throes” is now streaming everywhere. You can check it out Here and you can watch the music video Here
The band says, “”In The Throes” deals with the topic of battling inner demons and searching deep to find the resolve to overcome them. Hopefully, the song is relatable and inspires some hope, not only that there are literally millions of people going through such struggles but also that there might be a way through without succumbing to the worst of it. We chose In The Throes to be our first single because it’s an accurate snapshot of what fans and listeners can expect to hear from Gainsayer as a 14-song album. This was our second time working with Bill and our friends at the Blasting Room, and they really turned it on for us with Gainsayer. We spent a lot of time with Bill getting the vocal ideas for “In The Throes” ironed out and tracked, and we’re stoked with how it all shook out.”
The band adds, “In the video, we’re not depicted with our figurative knives out, battling demons. Rather, the “In The Throes” video was meant to show our fans that we’ve been ‘in the throes’ of making this music together for decades now, working out our artistic impulses and creativity dating back to the late ‘90s. It’s a kind of then-and-now showcase of where we started as a band and where we are today. Our buddy Alaric from Gearly Beloved Productions helped us make this video, shooting the band performing the song live at a show we played with Chaser in Salt Lake City, juxtaposed with a host of old VHS clips we had digitized from the ‘90s and ‘00s. This was the third time we’ve worked with Alaric on a music video and it was a blast, as always.”
“In The Throes” from Bridge The Gap, is absolutely perfect. We can’twait for “Gainsayer”

The National Parks (Brady Parks [vocals, guitar], Sydney Macfarlane [vocals, keys], Cam Brannelly [drums], and Megan Parks [violin] ) have delivered a brilliant collection of indie folk pop songs, with their new album “Wild Spirit “ that have literally taken our breath away.
The band says, “Have you ever been out in the woods and turned around and not known where you are or how to get where you were going? This is an album about feeling that way in life – lost. It’s about the uncertainty, the dark nights, the scary sounds of the wilderness, the loneliness and the heartache. It’s also about how beautiful and transformative getting lost can be. The smell of new flowers you’ve never seen and the way the sunlight breaks and beams through the forest canopy. When you start hiking up to higher ground, standing on the peak of a mountain and looking at the views of a sprawling valley of trees and rivers. I think we all go through times in our life where we feel the weight of being lost and this album dives deep to explore what it means to find yourself.”
In support of the new music the band has also announce the Wild Spirit Tour. See all tour dates below.
Every song on “Wild Spirit” is full of vibrant melodies and captivating lyrics that stay with you long after the music has faded . The National Parks are like skilled painters taking a blank page and crafting songs that literally belong in a museum.
