The Auckland based Openside have had a massive year, picking up a bunch of attention for their catchy single Branches, as well as winning over a ton of new fans opening for Twenty One Pilots in Auckland, and playing at the inaugural Auckland City Limits Festival. The band have also caused a stir online with their incredible covers of Taylor Swift’s Style and Major Lazer’s Lean On.
Speaking about Letting It Out, lead singer Possum Plows offers up some thoughts on the change of sound from the band’s previous tracks. “’Letting It Out’ is our first sidestep from the comforts of distorted guitars and thrashing drums as we begin expanding our sound into the world of electropop”, explains Possum.
The powerful lyrics speak of the harm that can be done by not accepting who you truly are. This is something that many people struggle with, and as Possum identifies as gender-variant it is something that is very close to Possum’s heart.
“It is a song about evaluating the content of one’s own character, taking a look inside your head and being afraid of what you see”, says Possum. “It explores the compounding effects of a natural tendency towards insecurity and self-doubt meeting a world that tells you that the person you are on the inside is wrong.”
Letting It Out was recorded and produced with Rich Bryan (Jupiter Project, Stan Walker), mixed in LA by Billy Bush (The Naked & Famous, Tegan & Sara) and mastered in New York by Joe LaPorta (Imagine Dragons, Foo Fighters).
