The band release their first new music since 2020 via Dais Records while touring North America
Indie band Choir Boy have returned with their new single and video “I’ll Always Let You Down”, marking their first new music release since 2020.
The track is available via Dais Records and arrives as the band begin a North American tour supporting AFI.
“I’ll Always Let You Down” was produced by Jorge Elbrecht and is described by vocalist Adam Klopp as an “anti-love song,” focusing on themes of self-reflection and personal failure within relationships.
The song combines elements such as drum machines, synth-driven arrangements, and melodic vocals, shaping its overall structure.
The accompanying video was directed and animated by the band, using a claymation approach that reflects the tone and concept of the track.
Following their previous album cycle, the band remained active through live performances across North America and Europe, as well as visual content and creative projects, despite the absence of new recorded material.
The release of “I’ll Always Let You Down” marks a new phase, with the band returning to the studio during the current season.
