We mark a moment in history, as the shoegazing post-metallers bid us a fond adieu with this, their final ever release, delivered on the cusp of their farewell tour:
Speaking about their farewell single, vocalist Serena Cherry stated:
We spend most of our lives unaware of finality. Blissfully oblivious to when those musical notes played will be our last.

Think of it as the metal version of ‘Goodbye’ by the Spice Girls!
Svalbard kick off their five-date final tour on Wednesday (19 November):
