Knocked Loose have shared their next level new single, “Suffocate,” which features the Grammy Award-nominated pop-meets-metal artist Poppy.
It’s the third single released from their upcoming album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, which will be released on May 10th via Pure Noise Records.
”Suffocate” finds Knocked Loose trying things they haven’t done before, as it features a bludgeoning blast beat meshed with matched with a dance-y, syncopated groove with one of the most concussive reggaeton rhythms they’ve ever released.
Poppy originally released out to Knocked Loose vocalist Bryan Garris and proposed a team-up, and the result is nothing short of fascinating. “I am a huge fan of Knocked Loose and honored to be on this one,” tells Poppy.
The collaboration inspired the band to venture into the aforementioned uncharted realms, which finds Garris and Poppy trading verses about, as Garris puts it, “someone stabbing you in the back.” “It was so fun because her voice allowed us to expand our palette and do some weird, off-the-wall things that we maybe wouldn’t do in another song,” guitarist Isaac Hale says of the track. “We felt that because we had Poppy’s voice involved, it allowed us to kind of push the boundaries of what we thought was feasible.”
