CHASE TREMAINE READIES NEW SINGLE “TIRED SIDE OF CONTENT” AHEAD OF NEW STUDIO ALBUM
In “Tired Side of Content” is the third and final single from Chase Tremaine’s forthcoming third album, Accidental Days: a song that marries bold proclamations and evocative imagery with the most urgent and immediately gratifying alt-rock of Tremaine’s burgeoning career.
Never before have the varied strengths and influences of the multi-instrumentalist – ranging from prog and post-hardcore to boy bands and smooth jazz – been so streamlined and focused than it is on “Tired Side of Content,” which manages to sound accessible and catchy while still boasting an adventurous, unpredictable edge. The song is poised to capture the ears of new fans while capturing the imagination of old fans, who (in the words of Tremaine) “should be on the lookout for multiple musical winks and nods to songs from the first two albums.”
The artwork for the single cheekily includes the definition for “con-TENT” (to be satisfied), as not to be confused with “CON-tent” (information, material), even though the single will surely be considered mere “online content” by some. For Tremaine, “Tired Side” means much more: it is his striving point, his melodic reminder of the mindset he hopes to have in life. “I don’t want to spend my life thinking I can’t be happy if, you know, I don’t get a good night’s sleep,” Tremaine says about the song’s lyrics. “This song is my reminder that I can be joyful and satisfied, even if I’m tired or weak or just failing and flailing, as long as my life is being used to love and serve other people.”
Accidental Days is a 10-track collection about the complex intersections between faith, friendship, work, heartbreak, and aging, across an expansive set of pop-rock compositions influenced by emo, math, post-hardcore, and jazz. Producer Brendan St. Gelais (known for his work with Carver Commodore, Zane Vickery, and Bre Kennedy) has pushed Tremaine’s sound into new levels of richness, depth, and beauty, while maintaining the emo-inflected authenticity, intricate guitar work, and lush vocals that have been his trademark since he released his debut Unfall in 2020.
“Tired Side of Content” hits all streaming services and digital outlets on February 3, 2023, following the success of singles such as “Middle of My Words,” “Matter,” and “Fear Not Want.” Accidental Days is set to release on March 10, 2023. The album is produced, engineered, and mixed by Brendan St. Gelais, mastered by Sean Power at The Hilson Studio, and released independently in partnership with Post Emo Records.
Some songs aren’t just music: they’re milestones. Electric Love, the latest single from Belgian-Rwandan artist AMERY, is more than a comeback: it’s a declaration of freedom. Out now on all platforms, the track captures the emotional release that comes with choosing yourself, even when the world has tried to define you first.
From the first glowing organ chords, Electric Love radiates a quiet strength, the kind that builds slowly, then crashes open like a long-awaited breakthrough. Produced by longtime collaborator James Lowland, it pairs raw emotion with soaring, rock-infused energy, charting AMERY’s journey from fear to self-acceptance. Vulnerable, powerful and gloriously unfiltered, Electric Love feels like a soul set free.
What makes the song hit even harder is the context behind it. Written during one of the darkest chapters of AMERY’s life, it tells the story of a young man watching the foundation beneath him dissolve — his family drifting apart, his sense of identity unraveling, his safety net vanishing. And yet, rather than sink, he wrote. “I felt this deep void, he says. I started to look for comfort and distraction in other places and people, but I realized I was constantly running away from the truth, and straight into depression and toxic relationships. I had to let go of everything that was holding back my personal growth and find my light again. I wrote this while I was at my lowest, dreaming of the day I’d finally break free. It carried me forward.
While many know AMERY for the sleek pop anthems that even caught the ear of Sir Elton John, Electric Love marks a turn inward. It’s genre-bending, yes, but more importantly, it’s label-rejecting — in every sense. He invites us not just listen, but to feel. And as he embraces his queerness, autism and introversion without apology, AMERY proves that art is at its most powerful when it’s simply, unapologetically true.
AMERY is back, but more importantly, he’s finally home in himself.
