OF MICE & MEN has released a new single, "Troubled Water", taken from the band's upcoming ninth album, "Another Miracle", due out on November 14 via Century Media Records.
The new album finds OF MICE & MEN at their most personal and most expansive, crafted entirely in-house — written, produced, and engineered by the members of OF MICE & MEN themselves.
"The process of self-recording and self-producing this album as well the last two has seen us really trying to one up what we've done in the past — and it's on us to do that," drummer Valentino Arteaga explains. "On this album in particular, we wanted to push the boundaries of what that sounds like for our band."
Regarding the new single, OF MICE & MEN says: "'Troubled Water' is about setting boundaries, about vampiric and apathetic relationships with people who only seem to seek connection when it benefits them, and about how maintaining a dying, one-sided connection just leads to resentment. It definitely takes us in a darker, more menacing direction sonically and visually. Heavy headbangable riffs paired with pure sci-fi nightmare energy makes this track one of our favourites off the album."
OF MICE & MEN once again teamed with Mike Matsui for the video. The band notes: "Shooting this video was a lot of fun. He had a vision of utilizing predominantly physical sets and practical camera and lighting effects to create a sci-fi landscape that reflects the interplay of different tensions heard in the song."
Earlier this year OF MICE & MEN released "Another Miracle"'s title track which marked their first new music since 2023's "Tether" and their first since signing to new label Century Media Records. More recently they shared "Wake Up", which has spent several weeks climbing the Active Rock Radio chart in the U.S. (currently at No. 21) while in the U.K. it has been receiving strong support from Radio 1, Kerrang! Radio, TotalRock and more. Watch the official video here.
OF MICE & MEN has been playing the new singles as well as fan favorites this summer at major festival appearances in the U.S. which continue into October. OF MICE & MEN will then embark on a headline run in Europe, with dates kicking off November 27 and concluding December 14.
