New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nashville indie duo The Harmaleighs (Haley Grant and Kaylee Jasperson) give another taste off their upcoming full-length She Won't Make Sense with album opener "Anthem For The Weak." The accompanying video, which premiere earlier today via FLOOD, was shot in Mt. Pleasant, TN and follows the duo around the town on razor scooters, a hobby Haley took up during her darkest mental state at the advice of her therapist. Out August 2nd, She Won't Make Sense is a concept album about mental illness - specifically Haley's deeply personal journey through anxiety, depression and mania.
Haley says of the track, "'Anthem for the Weak' is about listening heavily to the voice in your head. She talks so much and sometimes it's like hearing your favorite song. She's so easy to tune into even though she can be so toxic. This song sparked the idea of referring to my mental health as 'Susan' and putting a character to her." The character of "Susan" appears throughout the album.
Produced by Dan Molad (Lucius, JD McPherson, Tweedy), She Won't Make Sense is a stark contrast from their previous releases, having evolved from their acoustic beginnings to a fuller sound involving synths, strings and drums. The album covers the full spectrum of sound, from heavier rock tunes to somber folk, to properly convey the emotional weight of the album's subject matter.
