Alternative/pop trio Concrete Castles have just announced that they will be releasing their sophomore album, Brand New Me, on August 25th via Velocity Records and Equal Vision Records. The album is the follow-up to their debut album, Wish I Missed U, which was released back in September 2021 and featured Circa Survive‘s Anthony Green on the title-track.

On the upcoming album, Concrete Castles’ Guitarist Matt Yost shares “This album has been filled with so many new experiences for us. New direction, new ways we approach writing music, and new videos. Each release we just got better and better and we can’t wait to finally put out the finished album “Brand New Me.’

In anticipation for Brand New Me, Concrete Castles have shared a new single, “Kill the Lights.” It is the third song released from he album, following “Smile” and “Disappear (Like Magic).”
