Triggers lure you back to tendencies that you’ve intentionally separated from. Triggers can also paralyze your reasoning to realize what is best for you. Whether it be unhealthy coping mechanisms or even outside pressures, something is always lurking around the corner attempting to cloud your judgement.
Kimmii Heart (lead vocals) reveals “In much of 2020 I was in a depression. I had so much to say but wasn’t finding the inspiration to write.” Brian King (drums) adds “When New Jersey was under lock-down, we had the intention of writing several songs then releasing the best one as a single. But we were having trouble WANTING to write. Instead, I found myself sifting through live recordings which ultimately led to a concert album and an EP. So, we spend half of the year celebrating our last few years of live shows rather than moving forward.”
In the Summer, when the Covid-19 epidemic seemed to be under control in Northern New Jersey, Reality Suite reconvened for the first time in months in the backyard of bassist Antonio Valenti. Circling a fire pit after dark with acoustic guitars in hand, the band stumbled around some ideas until the verse for “Triggers” was born. The writing of the song went quickly with the new found inspiration coming from the polarizing era we are surviving in. The band was proud of the completed song and felt additional options for the single would not be necessary.
To reward supporters for pre-ordering “Triggers,” a free download of Reality Suite covering The Smashing Pumpkins’ classic “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” will be offered. In addition, those who pre-order will receive a private link to an exclusive YouTube video of Reality Suite in the studio recording “Triggers.” The free download and YouTube link will be attained by emailing a screenshot of the pre-order to [email protected].
THIS ONE IS FOR THE FANS: The production costs of Triggers and the accompanying video were completely fan-funded. There was a great demand for the digital concert album, “Live at Alpha Wave Studios” to see a physical release. In the summer of 2020, Reality Suite responded to the demand by signing and numbering 70 digi-pak CDs and offering collectible bundles ranging from $25 to $100 USD. Supporters from around the world snatched these limited edition bundles and made the “Triggers” single and official video possible.
