ATL’s Shepherds share new single ahead of Friday LP, which tackles “Catholic guilt to Youtube comments and Tupac Shakur”

“Perpetual Yearning’ is very close to my heart. It’s a song I wrote shortly after finishing up our last LP Exit Youth; a record which involved me speaking about some very personal things. I was considering the emotional and psychological costs of expressing yourself through the medium of song. The difficulty of exposing this emotion and leaving it to be judged by the dispassionate seas of humanity that could quite easily skip over or swipe left on something you care so much about. This desire to express yourself in such a manner no matter the cost seems unrelenting and everlasting. A desire for connection, a yearning. No matter what happens and how people feel about this record, I care deeply and am proud of this work. That’s what matters. This is who I am and this what I do.” – Jonathan Merenivitch, Shepherds

Boston lyricist Singapore Kane talks about being a product of his surroundings on the latest video-single “My Environment” directed by D. Gomez Films, produced by DNA.
