If you’re a fan of Dangerbird Records or just a fan of a good cause, you may have heard of the Pablove Foundation. The local scene makes sure to keep the foundation afloat as the money goes toward helping kids fight cancer. The name of the foundation gets it name from Pablo Castelaz, the late son of Dangerbird Records co-founder, Jeff Castelaz.
Peter Walker of Eulogies, who is Jeff Castelaz’s business partner and best friend, was by Pablo’s side as he took his last breath at just six years old. Although a tragic chapter to add onto one’s life story, Walker did make sure he paid tribute to his feelings during that time and to Pablo through music. This is where Eulogies’ Tear The Fences Down comes into the story – or rather – continues one.
Although the origin of the album comes out of a heavy occurrence, the LP seems to have a very uplifting sound despite dealing with dark themes. Instead of going down a moody Smiths or Cure route of pessimism, the lead single, “You Hide,” sounds more like a celebration of life.
Tear The Fences Down will be released on January 18 via Dangerbird Records. I highly recommend picking it up. Until then, take a listen to “You Hide” below!
