Balance and Composure announce release date for new album

Pennsylvania's Balance and Composure have announced that they will be releasing they're upcoming album, 'The Things We Think We’re Missing' on September 13.

Pennsylvania's Balance and Composure have announced that they will be releasing they're upcoming album, 'The Things We Think We’re Missing' locally on September 13 through Shock Records. The long awaited album comes as the follow-up to 2011's critically acclaimed album, 'Separation.'


“We sound like we do when we play live on this album,” says drummer Bailey Van Ellis about the record. “It's heavy, it's raw, it's vibey, and both Will Yip and ourselves made it a point to capture that. To us, a lot of the tracks on Separation felt like random pieces put together to make songs. We're older and wiser now and we'd like to think that we're maturing into better songwriters.”


The album's first single, 'Reflection,' can be streamed here.
