April 12 — Independent music act Riversend premiered its latest single and video last month.

The band premiered its single, ‘Phantom’ and its video late last month. The song is a melancholy presentation all the way around what with its moody guitar line and equally mournful vocals.

According to a statement from the band, the mood set through the song’s musical arrangement and lyrics is intentional.

“‘Phantom‘ is an elusive art rock track about depression and self-loathing,” the statement reads. “With emotional vocals we try to convey the pain caused by the demons in ourselves. (Guitarist) Zach (Miranowic)delivers expressive and deeply layered music to accompany the melancholic lyrical theme. (Singer) Olivia’s (Horovitz) intimate lyrics were written to represent her own struggles, knowing virtually any listener can empathize. We wanted this beautiful yet haunting track to be relatable, understanding that depression has touched most people’s lives in one way or another.”

The video for Riversend’s new single works in partner with the group’s new single, presenting imagery, such as rain falling on a window, a person sitting in a darkened room that is lit only by light from the outside, and a person reading through a bible, apparently to try to find some inspiration and meaning.
